The rapid growth of hospitals has intensified competition in the hospital business, making it increasingly challenging. This situation necessitates the need to ensure that patients return to the same hospital, in other words, the need to enhance repeat visitation interest, which has a significant impact on the hospital's business sustainability. This research was conducted due to a significant decrease in the number of outpatient visits at Gandaria Hospital. The study aims to analyze the influencing factors on repeat visitation interest at Gandaria Hospital, with repeat visitation interest as the dependent variable, word of mouth, and social media as independent variables, and brand image as an intervening variable. This research employs a quantitative approach with data analysis techniques, specifically descriptive analysis using Excel & SPSS software and Path Analysis using AMOS software. The sample size, calculated according to Hair's formula, consists of 75 outpatient patients. The results of hypothesis testing indicate that word of mouth and social media have a significant positive impact on repeat visitation interest. Social media has a greater influence compared to word of mouth on repeat visitation interest. The brand image variable is proven to be an intervening variable between word of mouth and repeat visitation interest but not between social media and repeat visitation interest.

Bicycles are affordable and healthy, cause zero harm to the environment, require little space on roads and parks, and are not noisy transportation means. However, cyclists face challenges on roads, which may lead to injuries and deaths. For instance, cyclists visibility, speed management, ability to communicate with other road users, backward accidents, and ability to be located in urgent cases. This paper presents performance, tracking, and safety systems from hardware and software point of view. As a result, cyclists monitor their speed to manage; their locations are tracked, and their cycling paths are traced. Also, a rear red light and turn signal LEDs are activated without any physical action from the rider to communicate with other drivers. Moreover, a microwave radar sensor with a range of seven meters is employed to protect the cyclist from backward-approaching vehicles. Finally, three Arduino UNO boards with GPS, GSM modules, MPU-6050, and RCWL-0516 sensors are mounted on a conventional bicycle to provide safer trips.

The rapid advancement of knowledge and information technology has reshaped the perspectives and lifestyles of Indonesian citizens, particularly through innovations like Artificial Intelligence (AI), which automates various tasks and simplifies human activities. However, the misuse of AI has become a critical issue in 2023, especially in spreading sophisticated fake information. To address this, Law No. 1 of 2024, amending Law No. 11 of 2008 on Information and Electronic Transactions, is expected to combat AI software misuse effectively. This study investigates the legal implications of AI misuse, particularly concerning privacy and personal data security, and examines its interpretation under Articles 27 and 32 of the Information and Electronic Transactions Law to enhance law enforcement and safeguard individual privacy rights. Using a normative legal research approach, the findings reveal that AI misuse, such as manipulating photos and videos, violates data protection laws, including the GDPR in the European Union and Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Act. Such violations can lead to severe penalties, legal consequences, and reputational damage for companies. Recognized as a form of cybercrime, AI misuse is addressed under Article 35 of the Information and Electronic Transactions Law, which provides a specialized legal framework for handling such offenses comprehensively.

Changes in the health insurance system in Indonesia continue to evolve, one of which is implementing the Standard Inpatient Class (KRIS) policy as a replacement for the BPJS Health class system based on Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 59 of 2024. This policy is designed to unify healthcare classes to reduce disparities in healthcare access and quality in Indonesia. However, its implementation is faced with key challenges, including hospital infrastructure readiness, limited human resources, and criticism from various parties, including patients and healthcare providers. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods to review various policy documents, relevant literature, and legal and social perspectives related to policy implementation. The results show that although KRIS has the potential to reduce disparities in access to health services, its implementation requires more attention to the readiness of health facilities, strengthening management systems, and budget adjustments to support optimal operations. Furthermore, this policy requires the active involvement of the community and health workers in the evaluation and decision-making process so that the policy is more responsive to the real needs in the field. The theoretical approaches used, such as public policy theory and progressive law, highlight the importance of cooperation between the government, healthcare providers, and communities to ensure effective and equitable implementation of KRIS. This research suggests improving hospital infrastructure, continuous training for health workers, and strengthening a transparent monitoring system to ensure the success of this policy. This research is expected to make a positive contribution to the formulation of health policies that are more inclusive and sustainable and can serve as a reference in efforts to realize a more equitable and fair health service system for all Indonesians.
