This study aims to analyze the dynamics of development management in Tulang Bawang Regency, particularly in integrating policy, fiscal capacity, and public participation during the transition to the 2025–2029 Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD). The study employed a descriptive qualitative method using data triangulation techniques derived from regional planning documents, financial statistical reports, and sectoral program evaluation results. The findings reveal that Tulang Bawang Regency has achieved significant progress in regional transformation and succeeded in reducing stunting rates through the Bergerak Melayani Warga (BMW) program. However, these achievements have not been supported by strong fiscal independence, while public participation remains largely dominated by a technocratic approach. The study highlights the urgent need for reforms in digitalization-based regional revenue management and stronger substantive community involvement to ensure that future regional development becomes more independent, participatory, sustainable, and inclusive in accordance with local community aspirations. These reforms are expected to strengthen governance effectiveness and improve equitable development outcomes across all regional sectors.

dishonorable Discharge (PTDH) is the most severe administrative sanction for Civil Servants (PNS) proven to have committed corruption. This study aims to analyze the implementation of PTDH for corrupt civil servants and identify the obstacles in its execution. Using a normative legal research method with statutory, conceptual, and case study approaches, this study examines the effectiveness of PTDH through Lawrence M. Friedman's Legal System Theory, which includes legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture. The results show that, in terms of substance, the PTDH norm is strictly regulated in Government Regulation Number 17 of 2020. However, its implementation faces juridical, administrative, institutional, and socio-political obstacles, as reflected in the case of the delayed execution of PTDH for five civil servants in Mukomuko Regency. This phenomenon proves the existence of a gap between law in the books and law in action. Friedman's perspective explains that the failure of PTDH is caused by weaknesses in the legal structure (apparatus/executing institutions) and legal culture (integrity/ethics of the apparatus). This study concludes that the effectiveness of PTDH can only be achieved through synergy between firm legal substance, professional legal structure, and a legal culture that upholds the integrity of state apparatus.

Access to justice is a constitutional right that is often difficult for vulnerable groups to access, thus triggering legal disparities and systemic injustice. This study aims to analyze the urgency of legal assistance by advocates and Legal Aid Institutions (LBH) as a protection instrument for individuals facing legal arbitrariness. Using normative legal research methods supported by a statute approach, this study evaluates the effectiveness of the implementation of the Legal Aid Law in Indonesia. The results show that legal assistance functions not only as technical representation in court, but also as a balancing power relationship between the state or powerful entities and citizens. Legal assistance plays a vital role in mitigating violations of legal procedures (due process of law) often experienced by victims of injustice. However, structural obstacles such as limited state budgets and low public legal literacy remain major obstacles. This study concludes that strengthening the free legal aid scheme (pro bono publico) integrated with strict judicial oversight is essential to ensure that justice belongs not only to those with financial resources, but also to all citizens without exception.

This study aims to examine the factors influencing tax avoidance, with debt (leverage) acting as a mediating variable. The independent variables include internal audit compliance, sales level, capital intensity, firm political connections, and corporate social responsibility (CSR). The sample consists of 306 manufacturing firms from the consumer goods, basic materials, and industrial sub-sectors listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange during the 2019–2021 period, selected using purposive sampling.The study employs multiple linear regression and robust regression to compare results across each year of observation. The findings indicate that capital intensity and political connections of the board of directors have a significant effect on tax avoidance, particularly when leverage (Debt to Asset Ratio) serves as a mediating variable. This suggests that firms with high capital intensity and strong political connections tend to use debt strategically to reduce their tax burden. In contrast, internal audit compliance, political connections of the board of commissioners, and sales levels do not show a significant impact on tax avoidance under either regression method. Overall, the results highlight the importance of monitoring leverage usage and political connections to prevent excessive tax avoidance practices.

Separator operation is maintained at an operating pressure of around 55 psig to ensure optimal separation efficiency and work safety. The conclusion of this study indicates that effective separator operation requires stable pressure and temperature control as well as routine maintenance to prevent sediment buildup and maintain product quality.

Widespread structural poverty is one of the tangible effects of a capitalist economic system that emphasizes capital accumulation and economic growth without regard for equity and social justice. This situation has prompted the Church to reexamine its role in a world marked by inequality and marginalization of the poor. This article aims to analyze the relevance of Pope Francis' thinking in the apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium as a theological and pastoral basis for the Church's stance towards the poor. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach through document study, with Evangelii Gaudium as the main source, supported by relevant social theology literature and academic studies. The results of the study show that Pope Francis comprehensively understands poverty in three dimensions, namely material, moral, and spiritual poverty. Through Evangelii Gaudium, the Church is called to experience a change in its mission, from a self-centered Church to a Church that moves outward and is actively involved in the liberation of the poor. Thus, the Church not only carries out charitable works, but also acts as an agent of social change that brings the joy of the Gospel, justice, and hope to a world wounded by structural injustice.

Drug availability at community health centers is an important indicator of health service quality. Drug shortages or excesses may affect service effectiveness and budget efficiency. This study aimed to determine the level of drug availability at the South City Community Health Center and the Piloloda'a Community Health Center in 2024 based on compliance with the formulary, demand, receipt, and drug availability categories. This study used a descriptive analytical method with a cross-sectional approach. Data were obtained retrospectively from the 2024 Drug Use Report and Request Sheet (LPLPO). Data analysis was conducted by calculating the percentage of compliance with the formulary, demand, and receipt, and by determining drug availability levels using the Indonesian Ministry of Health (2010) formula and the classification of Carolien et al. (2017). The results showed that formulary compliance was 82% at the South City Community Health Center and 67% at the Piloloda'a Community Health Center, both below the 95% standard. Drug demand compliance scores were 151% and 199%, exceeding the 100–120% standard, while drug receipt compliance scores were 71% and 56%, below the 100% standard. Drug availability categories varied from adequate and insufficient to excess stock, with most drug items classified as insufficient stock. In conclusion, drug management at both community health centers has not been fully optimal. Improved coordination between community health centers and pharmaceutical facilities is needed to maintain stable drug availability and support service needs.

Critically ill patients are individuals with unstable health conditions who require close monitoring of hemodynamic parameters. The high mortality rate among critically ill patients treated in intensive care units reaches 36.5% of 33,148 patients. Hemodynamic instability in critically ill patients can be influenced by underlying diseases, medical interventions, as well as physical and psychological stress responses during treatment. Therefore, in addition to pharmacological therapy, non-pharmacological interventions such as Asmaul Husna dhikr therapy are needed, as they can provide a relaxation effect and help stabilize hemodynamic parameters in critically ill patients. To determine the outcomes of the implementation of Asmaul Husna dhikr therapy. This study used a descriptive case study method involving two critically ill patients with unstable non-invasive hemodynamic parameters. Changes in non-invasive hemodynamic parameters were observed in both respondents after the implementation of Asmaul Husna dhikr therapy. In respondent 1, the hemodynamic status was initially categorized as increased and became stable after the intervention. Similarly, in respondent 2, the hemodynamic status changed from increased before the intervention to stable after the intervention. The implementation of Asmaul Husna dhikr therapy can be used as a complementary therapy to help stabilize hemodynamic parameters in critically ill patients.

 Cryptocurrency price prediction, particularly for highly volatile assets like Solana (SOL), is a crucial challenge in time series data analysis in digital finance. This study aims to compare the performance of the XGBoost machine learning algorithm with the Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT) deep learning model in predicting Solana's daily closing price. The dataset used consists of historical Solana price data and network fundamentals data in the form of Total Value Locked (TVL). The research process includes data preprocessing, dividing training and test data, model training, and evaluation using the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) metric. The results show that using the same-day price feature has the potential to cause target leakage, resulting in invalid prediction accuracy. In testing using pure historical data without data leakage, the XGBoost model performed better than TFT with an RMSE of 4.27, while TFT produced an RMSE of 18.59. Furthermore, the integration of network fundamentals data in the form of TVL did not improve prediction accuracy and even caused a decrease in performance for the XGBoost model with an RMSE of 7.10. The results of this study show that the use of historical price action features is more effective than fundamental network indicators for short-term daily Solana price predictions.

This study examines the determinants of the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) based on three main macroeconomic factors namely inflation, the USD/IDR exchange rate, and the SBI interest rate (BI Rate) covering the period January 2020 to December 2025, in the context of post-COVID-19 pandemic recovery and global economic turmoil. A quantitative approach was employed using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method, with 72 monthly observations derived from secondary data sourced from official institutions including Bank Indonesia (BI), the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), and the Financial Services Authority (OJK). Classical assumption tests were applied comprising the Jarque-Bera normality test, Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) for multicollinearity, Breusch-Godfrey for autocorrelation, White Test for heteroscedasticity, and Ramsey RESET for model specification. Partially, inflation, exchange rate, and BI Rate each demonstrate a positive and significant effect on the JCI (p < 0.05). Simultaneously, all three variables exert a significant combined influence on the JCI, with a coefficient of determination R² = 0.4414, indicating that the model explains 44.14% of the variation in the JCI. The remaining 55.86% is attributed to other variables outside the model. Classical assumption test results reveal violations of normality, autocorrelation, and heteroscedasticity assumptions, although the model is free from multicollinearity. These findings confirm that Bank Indonesia's monetary policy has a significant and measurable impact on capital market performance. Further research is recommended using more advanced time series models such as GARCH or VECM to address violations of classical assumptions and improve estimation efficiency.

This study examines the effectiveness of local government policies in infrastructure development and urban park management as multifunctional public spaces at Bundaran Besar Palangkaraya. Rapid urban development and increasing community needs for public spaces have encouraged the government to revitalize this area as a city landmark and social interaction space. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques through literature review, observation, and documentation. The results show that the development and revitalization of Bundaran Besar have improved aesthetic quality, public facilities, environmental conditions, and social functions. However, several challenges remain, including limited accessibility for certain groups, suboptimal management and maintenance systems, and traffic and parking issues during peak hours. The analysis indicates that although government policies have contributed positively to the development of public spaces, their effectiveness is still not fully optimal. Therefore, stronger governance, community participation, and sustainable management strategies are needed to enhance the role of Bundaran Besar as an inclusive, functional, and sustainable public space.

This study examines the integration of Sound Governance principles within the sustainable tourism policy cycle to address institutional fragmentation and evaluation inefficiencies in developing economies. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, the research develops a multidimensional evaluation framework aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), analyzing policy performance across five strategic domains: Economy, Social-Welfare, Culture-Education, Environment, and Governance. The quantitative phase utilizes 17 adapted SDG indicators to measure policy efficacy, while the qualitative phase employs semi-structured interviews and stakeholder mapping to deconstruct power dynamics in multi-actor co-management structures. The findings reveal that Sound Governance—specifically transparency and accountability—serves as a critical catalyst for policy effectiveness, significantly influencing destination sustainability through an input-process-output-outcome-impact pathway. Empirical evidence from the case of Penglipuran Village, Bali, corroborates these results, demonstrating that indigenous institutional legitimacy enhances social responsiveness but remains vulnerable to overtourism-driven economic dependency. Notably, the study demonstrates that integrating SDGs into the policy evaluation cycle transforms assessments from mere administrative formalities into strategic instruments for long-term demand stability and ecosystem preservation. These findings position Sound Governance as a strategic intangible asset, offering theoretical contributions to development administration and practical guidance for policy-makers navigating the complexities of sustainable destination management in competitive global markets
