This practice involves sexual services offered as part of traditional massage services, and it has become a serious problem affecting various aspects of society. The problem discussed is how the practice of covert prostitution in traditional massage parlors in Indonesia cannot be fully criminalized under Articles 296 & 506 of the Criminal Code and how criminal law is enforced against the practice of prostitution in covert massage parlors in Indonesia. The aim of this research is to analyze the practice of covert prostitution in traditional massage parlors in Indonesia which cannot yet be fully criminalized under Articles 296 & 506 of the Criminal Code and analyze criminal law enforcement against the practice of prostitution in covert massage parlors in Indonesia. The theories used in this thesis are law enforcement theory and legal certainty theory. The research method was carried out using a statutory approach which was carried out by examining all laws and regulations relating to the legal issues being handled as well as approaching cases that occurred in the practice of disguised prostitution in massage parlor activities. Problems in the Effectiveness of implementing Articles 296 and 506 of the Criminal Code in law enforcement against prostitution in massage parlors is very dependent on the joint efforts of various parties, availability of resources, and commitment to crack down on this crime consistently and fairly. According to the author, criminal law enforcement against the practice of prostitution in hidden massage parlors in Indonesia currently does not yet have full legal certainty in the application of Articles 296 and 506 of the Criminal Code and related laws. Furthermore, related to the law enforcement factor which is less than optimal, according to the author, the legal system in the crime of prostitution does not work properly, especially related to the legal culture of individual officers who have not made efforts to enforce the law. The suggestions in the research are the need for cooperation between the government, community sponsored organizations (NGO ),child protection institutions and civil society in dealing with the problem of prostitution and improving the legal culture or culture where there must be a mental improvement of government officials and law enforcement officials so that there are no more unscrupulous individuals playing in law enforcement efforts against hidden massage parlors under the guise of prostitution.

The problem of recidivist narcotics is a significant complex issue in Indonesia, including in Batam Class IIA Prison. This phenomenon raises concerns because of its negative impact on society and social stability. This study aims to analyze the juridical factors that encourage recidivism of narcotics crimes and identify obstacles in the implementation of rehabilitation programs in Batam Class IIA Prison. The research methods used are normative juridical and empirical sociology. The normative juridical method is used to analyze various laws and regulations that are the legal basis for handling recidivism, such as Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics. Meanwhile, empirical sociological methods are used to collect data through interviews and direct observations in the field to understand the implementation of rehabilitation programs and social factors that contribute to recidivism. The results of the study show that weaknesses in the criminal justice system, lack of post-release support, social stigma, and an unsupportive social environment are the main factors that encourage recidivists. A justice system that focuses more on punishment than rehabilitation leads to a lack of effective rehabilitation programs. Minimal post-liberation support, such as difficulty finding work and housing, also contributes to high rates of recidivism. Social stigma and discrimination exacerbate the condition of ex-convicts, hindering them from reintegrating into society. An unstable social environment, especially one with easy access to narcotics, is also a driving factor for recidivism. Based on these findings, this study provides several suggestions, including increasing the number and quality of professionals in the field of rehabilitation, adjusting skills training programs to be relevant to the needs of the job market, and closer cooperation between law enforcement agencies, the government, and the community in supporting the reintegration of former prisoners. It is hoped that these suggestions can help reduce recidivism rates and increase the effectiveness of the penitentiary system in Indonesia.

Human Resource Management (HRM) is a crucial aspect of organizational management that focuses on managing individuals as valuable assets to the company. One significant area of HRM is job satisfaction, which is a complex emotional reaction to one's job. High job satisfaction can enhance employee performance, as satisfied employees tend to be more enthusiastic and productive. Employee performance, which includes abilities, skills, and work outcomes, can be influenced by intellectual intelligence, organizational culture, and organizational communication. Intellectual intelligence (IQ) plays a role in employees' effectiveness at work and contributes to organizational success. Effective organizational communication strengthens an inclusive culture and supports collaboration, while organizational culture serves as an identity and impacts employee performance. This study aims to analyze the effects of intellectual intelligence, organizational culture, and organizational communication on employee performance through job satisfaction as an intervening variable at the Surakarta City Population and Civil Registration Office. The research is expected to provide insights into how these factors influence employee performance and offer recommendations for enhancing satisfaction and performance within the government organization.

The incidence of fever following DPT (Difteri Pertusis Tetanus) immunisation is relatively high, often necessitating treatment with fever-reducing drugs, which may have adverse effects on infants. Therefore, non-pharmacological methods that are effective, safe, economical, and practical are essential. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of an onion compress combined with virgin coconut oil (VCO) in reducing body temperature in infants following DPT immunization. The study employed a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The study population consisted of infants who received DPT immunization in the midwife's independent practice (PMB) working area at the Pudak Payung Health Centre, Semarang, with a total sample size of 48 infants selected via purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, analysed using descriptive statistics, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Prior to the intervention, 47 infants (45.92%) exhibited fever, and 1 infant (2.08%) had a high fever post-immunisation. Following the application of the shallot compress with VCO, all infants (100%) showed a reduction in body temperature, with none experiencing fever thereafter. The analysis indicated a significant effect of the onion compress combined with VCO on reducing body temperature (Z = -6.042, p < 0.01). The average body temperature of infants post-DPT immunisation decreased from a mean of 38.5°C before the intervention to 37°C afterwards. In conclusion, the use of an onion compress with VCO effectively reduces body temperature in infants following DPT immunization. This non-pharmacological approach presents a promising alternative to conventional fever management strategies.

The Sea and Coast Guard Base (PLP) plays a vital role in maintaining maritime security and safety in Indonesia, especially in strategic waters such as the Riau Islands. However, the implementation of the PLP's authority in carrying out its duties at the Tanjung Uban Class II PLP Base has not run optimally. This study aims to analyze the authority of the PLP from a juridical and sociological perspective, as well as identify the obstacles faced and provide recommendations to overcome them. The research methods used are normative juridical and empirical sociology. The normative juridical method is used to analyze various laws and regulations that are the legal basis for the authority of the PLP, such as Law Number 17 of 2008 concerning Shipping, Regulation of the Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia Number PM 119 of 2021 concerning the Organization and Work Procedures of Marine and Coast Guard Bases, Decree of the Director General of Hubla Number 13/VIII/DV-05 of 2005 concerning the Working Area of Marine and Coast Guard Bases and the Decree of the Director General of Sea Transportation Number KP.867/DJPL/2020 concerning the Patrol of the Marine and Coast Guard Unit of the Directorate General of Sea Transportation. Empirical sociological methods are used to collect data through interviews and direct observations in the field to understand the implementation of PLP authority and the obstacles faced. The results of the study show that limited human resources and equipment, lack of coordination between agencies, inadequate infrastructure, and complex bureaucracy are the main obstacles in the implementation of PLP authority in the Tanjung Uban Class II PLP Base. In addition, the low legal awareness among the maritime community is also a significant challenge. Based on these findings, this study provides several suggestions, including increasing recruitment and training of personnel, procurement and maintenance of patrol boats and supporting equipment, the formation of an inter-agency coordination team, the construction of adequate port facilities, and socialization and education to increase public legal awareness. This research is expected to contribute to strengthening policies and strategies for the implementation of PLP authority, so as to be able to increase effectiveness and efficiency in maintaining maritime security and safety in Indonesian waters.

Microplastic exposure in healthcare workers is a growing concern, yet it remains underexplored, especially in the context of their multifaceted exposure pathways. This study aims to quantify the exposure of healthcare workers to microplastics through three primary pathways: occupational, environmental, and dietary. By adopting a One-Health approach, which integrates human, animal, and environmental health sectors, this research assesses microplastic levels across hospital settings, comparing clinical and non-clinical staff. The study found that healthcare workers, particularly those working in clinical departments like laboratories and physiotherapy, had a 35% higher exposure rate to microplastics compared to non-clinical staff. Occupational exposure was linked to direct contact with medical disposables and contaminated surfaces, while environmental exposure primarily occurred through airborne particles and dust. Dietary exposure, especially from seafood and plastic-packaged foods, contributed significantly to the overall exposure. The findings highlight the importance of considering multiple pathways when assessing microplastic risks and suggest that microplastics are an emerging health hazard for healthcare workers. Potential health risks include respiratory issues, gastrointestinal disturbances, endocrine disruption, and chronic conditions such as neurotoxicity and cancer. This study underscores the need for policy changes, including the reduction of single-use plastics in healthcare environments, improvements in ventilation, and the development of dietary guidelines to limit microplastic intake. Future research should focus on the long-term health impacts of chronic microplastic exposure in healthcare workers and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions designed to mitigate these risks.

World Health Organization (WHO) 41% of pregnant women worldwide experience anemia. Overall, the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in developed countries is 49% and in developing countries it is 53%. In Indonesia, the rate of anemia in pregnant women is quite high, namely 48.9%. Anemia that is commonly experienced by pregnant women is iron deficiency anemia. Iron is needed in hemopoesis (blood formation), namely in the synthesis of hemoglobin. Iron absorption can be increased by consuming ± 25 mg of vitamin C sources in food. The aim of the research was to determine the difference in the effectiveness of papaya and red guava on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia. The research was conducted at the Nagaswidak Community Health Center in June 2024 using a quasi-experimental two group pretest and posttest. The population in this study were all pregnant women who were in the working area of the Nagaswidak Palembang Community Health Center in May 2024 with Hb levels of 9 – 10.9 gr/dl. The sampling technique used purposive sampling totaling 30 respondents. The results of the Wilcoxon test research showed that the effect of papaya (p value 0.000) and guava (p value 0.000) was obtained. The results of the Mann Whitney union obtained a p value of 0.116. There is an effect of papaya on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women, there is an effect of guava on hemoglobin levels. There is no difference in the effect of papaya and guava on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women at the Nagaswidak Community Health Center. It is hoped that health workers will increase education regarding the prevention of anemia in pregnant women, one of which is by consuming vitamin C in fruit.

The increasing use of conventional medical supplies has led to significant environmental challenges due to waste accumulation and the chemical exposure risks faced by healthcare workers. Despite ongoing efforts to adopt environmentally friendly materials, there is a lack of comprehensive studies that combine Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) with direct monitoring of worker exposure. This study aims to compare the environmental and health impacts of biodegradable versus conventional medical supplies by assessing their life-cycle stages, energy consumption, carbon footprint, and hazardous exposure risks. A novel comparative approach was adopted, integrating LCA to evaluate raw material extraction, production, usage, and disposal processes, alongside monitoring the occupational exposure to chemical residues from medical supplies. The results indicate that biodegradable medical supplies reduce environmental footprint by approximately 40%, lower energy consumption, and generate less waste compared to conventional plastics. Additionally, the study shows that biodegradable materials pose a significantly reduced risk of chemical exposure to healthcare workers, offering a safer alternative. However, biodegradable materials present limitations, such as availability, durability, and higher initial costs, which need to be addressed for widespread implementation. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating sustainable practices in healthcare settings, offering actionable insights for hospital management and regulatory bodies. Future research is recommended to further explore the cost-effectiveness of biodegradable materials, conduct large-scale trials, and investigate alternative material types. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on environmental sustainability and occupational safety in healthcare, providing a valuable framework for future policy and operational decisions.
