In conclusion, the implementation of surveillance technology in the correctional system can serve as a strategic step in supporting inmate rehabilitation and social reintegration.

This study analyzes the effect of profitability ratios (Return On Assets/ROA, Return On Equity/ROE) and leverage ratio (Debt to Equity Ratio/DER) on stock prices of mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. The study is motivated by stock market uncertainty influenced by companies’ financial performance. This research employs a quantitative approach with a sample of 14 companies selected through purposive sampling. Secondary data were analyzed using regression to examine the relationship between these variables and stock prices. The results show that, partially, ROA, ROE, and DER have no significant effect on stock prices. However, simultaneously, these variables influence stock prices. These findings suggest that companies should improve asset and equity management efficiency to enhance sustainable profitability. Additionally, companies must optimize capital structure to maintain leverage at an ideal level and minimize financial risk. Future research is recommended to expand the sample, extend the analysis period, and consider macroeconomic factors, market sentiment, and government policies that may affect stock prices.

ABSTRACT The implementation of Information Technology at XYZ Hospital serves as a key driver in enhancing the efficiency of healthcare services, but it also raises the organization’s vulnerability to significant operational risks. The primary risks identified involve inaccurate data resulting from human mistakes, breakdowns in system interoperability, and the deterioration of hardware infrastructure that may interfere with patient care. This research seeks to assess the governance of IT risk management and determine the organization’s capability level using the COBIT 5.0 framework, focusing on the APO12 (Manage Risk) domain. The study employs qualitative methods, gathering information through interviews and direct observations, and then conducts a gap analysis to compare the current state (As-Is) with the desired future state (To-Be). Findings show that the organization’s capability is currently at Level 2 (Managed Process) with a score of 1.87, which is still below the intended maturity level of 3 (Established Process) at 2.94. These results indicate that risk management activities are still largely reactive and rely on intuition, with no standardized procedures embedded within the institution. Ultimately, the study suggests formalizing a Risk Register, standardizing mitigation procedures through established SOPs, and developing a Disaster Recovery Plan to strengthen risk governance into a more systematic, preventive, and resilient framework.

The increase in consumption of plastic bottled drinking water (AMDK) has led to an increase in the amount of plastic waste that requires special handling. One of the main challenges in managing this waste is the process of cutting plastic cup rings, which has been done manually using a cutter or small knife. This manual method is not only less effective but also increases the risk of injury for waste pickers. This research aims to develop a safer and more effective plastic cup ring cutter. Through a socialisation programme and implementation of the tool at Bank Sampah SiHatin, the effectiveness of the tool was tested by comparing the manual method and the use of the cutting tool. The results of the analysis show that the use of this tool is able to increase the cutting speed by 58%, produce more uniform cuts, and eliminate the risk of injury due to the use of cutters. In addition, this tool also improves occupational safety and health (K3) aspects and has a positive impact on the economic value of cutting products. Thus, this innovation is an effective solution in plastic waste management in the informal sector and can be adopted more widely in various other Waste Banks

Hypertension in pregnancy is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality, with a global prevalence of 5–10% (Khedagi & Bello, 2021). This study aims to analyze the effect of reproductive status—maternal age, gravidity, and parity—on the incidence of hypertension in pregnancy at Prof. Dr. Chairuddin P. Lubis Educational Hospital, Medan. A case-control design was employed with 96 respondents, consisting of 48 cases and 48 controls. Bivariate analysis revealed that pregnant women aged ≥35 years have a 2.839-fold higher risk of developing hypertension compared to those aged <35 years (OR=2.839; 95% CI: 1.123–7.177; p=0.027). First pregnancy (primigravida) increases the risk by 2.742 times compared to multigravida (OR=2.742; 95% CI: 1.047–7.178; p=0.040), while nulliparous women have a 2.714-fold higher risk compared to those who have given birth (OR=2.714; 95% CI: 1.101–6.693; p=0.030). Multivariate analysis identified maternal age ≥35 years and nulliparity as the most significant predictors (p=0.005). These findings align with studies by Wiranto & Putriningtyas (2021), Hinkosa et al. (2020), and Luo et al. (2020), which confirmed that advanced maternal age and nulliparity increase the risk of pregnancy complications. The novelty of this research lies in integrating all three reproductive status factors as simultaneous predictors of hypertension risk, providing a new perspective compared to previous studies focused on single variables. Based on these findings, early detection and targeted health education for high-risk mothers are strongly recommended.
