This research aims to understand the dynamics of social labeling of the Tasawuf Underground community in Ciputat and how this community responds to the stigma attached by society. This community consists of punk kids who previously received negative stigma due to street lifestyle, psychotropic use, and family conflicts. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method and data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The results showed that the negative labeling of punk kids is not only based on deviant behavior, but is more influenced by appearances that do not conform to dominant norms. The Tasawuf Underground Community provides a safe space for the social reintegration process through a tasawuf-based spiritual approach, moral development, and job training. The theory of labeling is used to analyze how the identity of punk kids is renegotiated through community support, behavior change, and resistance to stigma. This research concludes that the social reintegration of punk kids depends not only on individual change, but also on changing the paradigm of society in seeing the potential of the future, not the past. The Tasawuf Underground community plays an important role as a reframing agent that allows the redefinition of the identity of punk kids from being labeled deviant to socially and spiritually accepted individuals.

The development of social media has brought about rapid changes in the way information is accessed and consumed. One form of information adaptation is information repackaging that directs and re-presents information in a more interesting and easy-to-understand format. This study aims to determine the extent of the influence of the use of information repackaging through TikTok on the information literacy of Management Students at Jambi University. The study used a quantitative approach with data collection techniques through questionnaires. The results of the study showed that there was an influence of the use of information repackaging through TikTok of 63.0% while the rest (100% -63.0%) was 37% influencing other variables outside this study. The customized R square value of 63% is included in the moderate category, which shows the influence of information repackaging through TikTok on students' information literacy depending on how users use the application.

The crime of defamation in the digital era has become an increasingly complex phenomenon along with the rapid development of information technology. This study aims to analyze the problem of criminal defamation from the perspective of Hadith At-Tirmidzi Number 1894 and Article 27A of the ITE Law. The main focus of the study is on the dynamics of criminal defamation in the context of information and media ethics, the role of hoax news that contributes to the rampant criminal defamation cases, and legal analysis related to both sources. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with normative analysis of Islamic legal doctrine and positive legal provisions. The results of the study show that Hadith At-Tirmidzi Number 1894 emphasizes the importance of honesty and prohibits lying as part of moral ethics in Islam. Meanwhile, Article 27A of the ITE Law acts as a legal instrument to address criminal defamation violations in the digital realm. A comparison of these two sources shows that although Islamic law and positive law have similarities in maintaining individual honor, the resolution mechanisms are different. Therefore, this study recommends preventive measures such as increasing digital literacy and legal education to reduce the risk of defamation and increase public awareness of the ethics of communicating in cyberspace

This study analyzes the dialectic of political interests in the recovery of assets from corruption through the Non-Conviction Based Asset Forfeiture (NCB) mechanism. Using a normative legal approach, the study reveals that NCB is a strategic solution to overcome the limitations of the conventional system, especially in cases where perpetrators flee or have immunity, with the potential to increase asset recovery by up to 40%. Findings indicate that political interests are hindering the enactment of the Asset Forfeiture Bill, despite NCB being mandated by the UNCAC 2003 and proven effective internationally. This study recommends accelerating the legislative process for the enactment of the Asset Forfeiture Bill, which could revolutionize the enforcement of criminal law against corruption in Indonesia

The policy default case by PT Asuransi Jiwasraya caused widespread unrest among the public and became an important precedent in assessing the effectiveness of legal protection for consumers in the financial services sector, especially life insurance. This research aims to analyze the form of legal protection provided to consumers, identify the regulations governing it, and evaluate the role of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in supervising and handling the default case. The method used is a normative juridical approach by analyzing laws and regulations, legal doctrines, and court decisions, and supported by literature reviews from various scientific journals. The results show that although the regulatory framework governing consumer protection in the insurance sector is quite complete, such as Law Number 40 of 2014 concerning Insurance and Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, its implementation is still weak. OJK's role as a supervisor has proven to be not optimal, both in early detection of Jiwasraya's financial crisis and in taking action against violations of the prudential principle by company management. The conclusion of this study states that legal protection of consumers in the Jiwasraya case has not been functionally effective, and needs to be strengthened through supervisory reform and regulatory improvement. This research is expected to contribute to the formulation of policies and the improvement of the consumer protection system in the future.  

Hyperuricemia contributes to various metabolic disorders, including gout and kidney disease. Detection of uric acid levels through simple screening is important for early risk identification. One non-pharmacological approach that can help reduce uric acid levels is maintaining adequate fluid intake. Uric acid level examination was performed by taking capillary blood from 104 adult participants. Results were obtained directly using the Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) instrument. Education was provided to all participants using a leaflet discussing the role of hydration in supporting uric acid excretion. The average uric acid level was recorded at 4.08 ± 1.00 mg/dL. A total of 103 participants (99.0%) were in the normal range, and 1 participant (1.0%) had high levels. Most participants have not experienced excessive urate accumulation, but still need education to maintain this status. Uric acid level screening is useful as an effort to detect the risk of metabolic disorders early. Education about the importance of fluid intake is the main strategy to maintain uric acid levels within normal limits and prevent complications due to hyperuricemia.

Liver dysfunction is a common health issue among the elderly and can significantly impact quality of life, particularly due to its progressive nature and frequently asymptomatic presentation in the early stages. Many older adults are unaware of liver problems, as mild symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal discomfort, or reduced appetite are often perceived as normal signs of aging. The Community Service Program (PKM) conducted at Panti Werdha Hana aimed to raise awareness among the elderly regarding the importance of early detection of liver dysfunction through SGOT and SGPT enzyme screening. This activity employed the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, including laboratory examinations and interactive counseling on risk factors, healthy lifestyle practices, and the significance of regular health monitoring. Among the 76 participants, 10 individuals (13.16%) were found to have elevated SGOT levels, and 8 individuals (7.89%) had SGPT levels above the normal range. These findings underscore the importance of early detection in preventing the progression of chronic liver diseases, enhancing the quality of life of the elderly, and supporting more effective and sustainable healthcare interventions.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that is increasingly found in the productive age population and can have a major impact on quality of life, especially due to risk complications such as heart disease, nerve disorders, retinopathy, and kidney damage. Early symptoms are often not recognized because they are considered minor complaints, such as fatigue or frequent urination, so many cases are not diagnosed in the early stages. The Community Service Program (PKM) implemented in Grogol Village aims to increase public awareness of the importance of early detection of diabetes through fasting blood sugar screening activities. This activity uses the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, including checking glucose levels with the Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) tool, as well as counseling on risk factors and prevention of diabetes. Of the 71 participants involved, 19 people (26.76%) were identified as having diabetes, 8 people (11.27%) had prediabetes, and the rest had blood sugar levels within normal limits. These results indicate that early screening is very important to prevent diabetes progression and severe complications, and is a foundation for building public awareness to maintain metabolic health sustainably.

Kereng Bangkirai Pier is one of the leading tourist destinations in Palangka Raya City. However, the potential of local wisdom-based tourism has not been optimally manifested, primarily due to governance issues in the management of the site. This research aims to analyze the governance of tourism potential based on local wisdom in Kereng Bangkirai pier of Palangka Raya City. This research uses a qualitative type with a case study approach. Data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation studies in Kereng Bangkirai pier Palangka Raya City. The data analyzed using narrative analysis guided by the 3A concept—Attraction, Accessibility, and Amenities—proposed by Holloway et al. (2009), to map the local-wisdom-based tourism potential. The findings indicate that the Kereng Bangkirai tourism area meets various indicators within the 3A framework. However, these potentials still require further development to enhance tourist interest. Additionally, the study applied Democratic Governance theory by Norris (2012) as an analytical framework, focusing on four indicators: participation, transparency, accountability, and responsiveness.

This study aims to analyze the level of community participation in the “Roti 7 Lapis” program (Response Time 7 Minutes of Free Fire Service) initiated by the Surabaya Fire and Rescue Department. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and Arnstein’s ladder of participation theory, the research explores citizen involvement in reporting, prevention, and early fire response. Data were collected through interviews and observations in two densely populated areas: Sidotopo Jaya and Kedung Rukem. The findings indicate that community participation has reached the "citizen control" level within the partnership stage, although it is not evenly distributed across regions. The main challenges include low public awareness, hoax reports to the 112 call center, and limited access for fire trucks due to environmental conditions. This study demonstrates that the success of the program relies not only on rapid response but also on efforts to foster meaningful community engagement. These findings contribute to the literature on participatory public policy within the context of urban emergency services.

This study aims to analyze the role of the Surabaya Smart City Program in supporting environmental governance in Kampung Sehati, Surabaya City. The Smart City initiative implemented by the Surabaya City Government is part of an urban governance innovation based on integrated information technology and community participation. Kampung Sehati, as one of the pilot areas, serves as a case study to examine how technological approaches, regulations, and citizen engagement shape participatory, adaptive, and sustainable environmental governance. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document studies.

This study recommends the need for efforts to strengthen institutions and enhance collaboration among stakeholders to support the success of farmer community empowerment.

In an era marked by complex global threats and the intensification of visual media, contemporary security studies must expand their understanding of securitization beyond linguistic speech acts to include visual dimensions. This article examines how visual narratives shape global threat perceptions through aesthetics that operate performatively and emotionally. Using a qualitative approach and visual discourse analysis, this study demonstrates that images, symbols, and visual representations in media play a significant role in constructing issues such as terrorism, migration, pandemics, and climate crises as existential threats. Visuals not only convey information but also activate emotions such as fear, empathy, and urgency, which in turn influence security policies. However, the findings also highlight the need for caution against the manipulative potential of visuals that may reinforce stereotypes and distort reality. Therefore, this article emphasizes the importance of fostering visual literacy and adopting ethical approaches in global security communication.

Digital transformation of government has become a priority agenda in smart city development in Indonesia. This study analyzes the digital transformation strategies implemented by various local governments in adopting smart city technology through a comparative study approach. Using a qualitative methodology with multi-case analysis, this study examines five cities in Indonesia that have implemented smart city initiatives: Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Yogyakarta, and Makassar. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, field observations, and policy document analysis. The findings show that the success of smart city implementation is influenced by transformational leadership factors, digital infrastructure readiness, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and human resource capacity. Implementation failures are mainly caused by budget constraints, resistance to organizational change, and lack of system integration. This study provides theoretical contributions in the development of a digital transformation framework for government and practical contributions in the preparation of a smart city roadmap in Indonesia.

Preeclampsia is a condition of hypertension occurring after 20 weeks of gestation, accompanied by organ dysfunction and proteinuria. Preeclampsia is classified into Early Onset Preeclampsia (EOPE), which occurs before 34 weeks of gestation, and Late Onset Preeclampsia (LOPE), which occurs after 34 weeks of gestation. EOPE carries a higher risk of maternal and fetal complications compared to LOPE. This research aims to analyze the complications in mothers and fetuses with EOPE and LOPE that were terminated at RSUD Raden Mattaher Jambi between 2020 and 2022. This descriptive research was conducted in the Medical Records Department of RSUD Raden Mattaher, Jambi, involving 82 patients who experienced both maternal and fetal complications with EOPE and LOPE that were terminated. Sampling was carried out using the total sampling technique based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of this research showed that the prevalence of EOPE was 69.5%, while LOPE accounted for 30.5%. Maternal complications were more commonly found in EOPE cases, including eclampsia (42.1%), HELLP syndrome (36%), premature rupture of membranes (14%), placental abruption (14%), and maternal mortality (5.3%). Fetal complications in EOPE included Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) (10.5%), prematurity (26.3%), low birth weight (29.8%), Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) (10.5%), and Intrauterine Fetal Death (IUFD) (1.8%). The perinatal mortality rate in EOPE was 7%, with asphyxia recorded in 12.3% of cases. EOPE is more frequently encountered than LOPE and is associated with more severe maternal and fetal complications. Early detection and management of EOPE are crucial to reducing complications and improving pregnancy outcomes.

Contraception is used to control population growth and ensure the availability of natural resources, thereby maintaining the quality of human life. Contraceptive methods can be categorized into two types: long-term contraceptive methods (LTCMs), such as intrauterine devices (IUDs), implants, female sterilization (tubal ligation or MOW), and male sterilization (vasectomy or MOP); and short-term contraceptive methods (non-LTCMs), such as condoms, injections, and oral contraceptive pills. The aim of this study is to examine and explain the relationship between spousal support and the role of healthcare workers in the selection of long-term contraceptive methods among women of reproductive age in the working area of the Kefa Utara Village Maternity Post, North Central Timor Regency. This research is quantitative with a cross sectional approach. The sampling technique used accidental sampling with a total of 106 WUS respondents. Data analysis using Chi Square test analysis. The results showed that women of reproductive age who did not get husband's support were higher (57.50%) than those who got husband's support (42.50%). Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship between husband's support and the selection of LTCMS (p < 0.05) with an Odds Ratio (OR) value of 2.690. In addition, health workers who played a role in the selection of LTCMS were greater (67.90%) than health workers who did not play a role (32.10%). The Chi Square test results also showed a significant relationship between the role of health workers and the selection of LTCMS (p < 0.05) with an 0R value of 3.733.
