This research aims to analyze the potential for social conflict in the development of Rusunawa Sadangserang in Bandung City through a sustainable planning perspective. This study employs a case study approach, utilizing in-depth interviews and source triangulation for data collection and analysis. The findings suggest that the potential for conflict arises from three primary sources, namely changes in land use, inequality in the provision of residential units, and unclear land ownership status. Changes in the function of Sadangserang Market and Sadangserang Terminal risk triggering resistance from traders and drivers. The imbalance of commercial units and subsidies can create access conflicts for low-income groups. Uncertain land ownership status is also prone to disputes. Therefore, a sustainable planning strategy is needed that involves public participation, socio-economic surveys, and clarification of land status. In this way, it is hoped that Rusunawa Sadangserang can make an optimal contribution to providing harmonious and fair housing in the city of Bandung.

This study aims to analyze the design of Indonesian horror film posters through Pierre Bourdieu's sociological lens. The main focus of the study is to understand how the visual elements in the poster reflect the social dynamics, culture, and structure of the film industry. By using the concepts of habitus, capital (cultural, symbolic, economic), field, doxa, and social reproduction, this study reveals that the design of horror film posters not only functions as a promotional tool, but also as a medium that reproduces local cultural values ​​and community beliefs about the supernatural world. Elements such as traditional ghosts such as genderuwo, kuntilanak and mystical symbols such as keris, offerings, then there are dark colors, and a scary atmosphere reflect the habits of audiences who are familiar with local myths. This study also shows that horror film posters reproduce stereotypes about the relationship between humans and the supernatural world, and strengthen the hierarchy of spiritual power through visual symbols. These findings confirm the relevance of Bourdieu's theory in understanding cultural phenomena through visual media. This study is expected to provide new insights for filmmakers, graphic designers, and students in understanding the interaction between culture, aesthetics, and the film industry.

According to the anthropometric standards for evaluating children's nutritional status, stunting is a growth failure condition based on the weight-for-age (W/A) or height-for-age (H/A) index, where the measurement results fall within the threshold (Z-Score) of -2 SD to -3 SD (short/stunted) and -3 SD (very short/severely stunted). In 2023, 27.3% of the toddlers in Penfui Timur Village were still stunted. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how stunting reduction policies are being implemented in Penfui Timur Village, Kupang Regency. This research used a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques of in-depth interviews, observation and documentation. The informants in this study is 8 informants, consisting of 2 main informants and 6 supporting informants. The main informants are the head of the Penfui Timur village and the nutrition staff of the Tarus Health Center. The supporting informants are 2 posyandu cadres, mothers of stunted toddlers, pregnant women, village residents, and teenage girls.The data analysis process in this research begins by collecting data from interviews and then reducing the resulting data. After that, the data is presented and concluded. The study's result showed that although the policy has been applied effectively, it still falls short of the implementation theory's requirements. The implementers' low educational and human resource levels, the ignorance of expectant mothers and parents of children with stunted growth, and the lack of facilities and infrastructure are the contributing reasons. Although the village government's communication component with other implementing parties has been functioning smoothly, communication with the leaders of the target community has not been at its best. The policy implementers are already familiar with the methods and duties associated with their respective areas of responsibility. The bureaucratic structure's policy implementers are already familiar with the technical facets of reducing stunting. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended to increasing the knowledge involved in  implementation policy for stunting reduction

The Constitutional Court (MK) Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 has attracted attention in Indonesian legal studies because it is related to the constitutionality test of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (UUD 1945). The validity of this Constitutional Court Decision, when analyzed through the lens of legal realism, can be understood as the result of a compromise between the law as a norm that must be obeyed and the changing needs of society. Social factors, such as pressure from community groups or public opinion, play a significant role in influencing the Constitutional Court's decision. In this case, the Constitutional Court is tasked with interpreting the constitution in a broader context, which includes responses to socio-political dynamics and developing community aspirations. The legal realism perspective provides an understanding that the validity of the Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 does not only depend on the text of the constitution, but is also influenced by developing socio-political dynamics. The Constitutional Court's decision reflects the interaction between legal norms and existing social conditions, with the Constitutional Court functioning as an institution that responds to social demands.

The creation of batik outerwear combines three techniques: hand-drawn batik (batik tulis), shibori, and ecoprint, to produce designs that are both functional and aesthetically rich, while promoting local cultural identity. The process follows the Art Creation Methodology, consisting of four stages: exploration, experimentation, realization, and evaluation. In the exploration phase, the techniques used are studied, and how their combination can create unique motifs. This phase also includes an in-depth understanding of the history and philosophy of each technique, ensuring a strong foundation for their application in the design of the outerwear.In the experimentation phase, various patterns, colors, and compositions are tested to determine the best combination of the three techniques.

This study analyzes the role of i'rab in translating mubtada’-khobar and fi’il-fa’il structures from Arabic into Indonesian. Using a qualitative approach and descriptive analysis, this research examines how i'rab, as a system of final vowel changes in Arabic, influences grammatical and semantic functions in the translation process. The theoretical review focuses on the concept of i'rab according to Ibn Ajurrum and Eugene Nida's dynamic equivalence theory, which emphasizes the importance of accurately transferring meaning and grammatical structure. The literature review method involves collecting, analyzing, and synthesizing sources from classical Arabic grammar books, previous research, and modern translation theories. The data is analyzed comparatively to identify effective translation patterns in adapting Arabic syntactic structures into Indonesian. The findings indicate that a deep understanding of i'rab plays a crucial role in translation, especially since Indonesian does not have a similar system. To convey the grammatical information embedded in i'rab, translators must adjust word order, use pronouns, or adapt sentence structures. This article provides new insights into how i'rab affects Arabic-Indonesian translation and its implications for improving translation skills.

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Alanine Transaminase (ALT), Aspartate Transaminase (AST), and Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) are liver enzymes commonly associated with liver dysfunction, and increased or decreased levels of these enzymes may be implicated in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. This study aims to evaluate the levels of liver enzymes (ALP, ALT, AST, and GGT) in preeclamptic pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy. By analyzing these enzymes, the research seeks to identify potential early indicators of preeclampsia. Forty (40) consenting pregnant women were recruited from St. Philomina Catholic Hospital, Edo State, Nigeria. Blood samples were spun in a bucket centrifuge at 2500 RPM (rounds per minute) for 10 minutes, after which plasma was collected and stored frozen in plain sample bottles to be analyzed for liver enzymes (ALP, ALT, AST, and GGT) levels using the spectrophotometric method. Data obtained from the study were analyzed using Graph Pad Prism 9. Results were expressed as mean ± SEM, and a P-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The present study showed a statistically significant increase in ALP, and a statistically significant decrease in liver enzymes such as ALT and AST were observed in preeclamptic women compared to normotensive pregnant women, indicating various underlying pathophysiological processes such as liver dysfunction.

The potential of cardiac markers in predicting preeclampsia, such as Creatinine Kinase (CK) and Tyrosine Kinase 1 (TK1), has emerged as promising due to their involvement in the pathophysiology of this pregnancy complication. Preeclampsia is characterized by hypertension and organ dysfunction, and it can lead to significant maternal and fetal morbidity if not detected early. Early identification of preeclampsia is critical for preventing severe complications, and biomarkers like CK and TK1 can provide valuable insights. This study aimed to investigate the role of CK and TK1 as potential predictors of preeclampsia in the third trimester of pregnancy. Forty (40) consenting pregnant women were recruited from St. Philomina Catholic Hospital, Edo State, Nigeria. Participants were divided into two groups: twenty (20) normotensive pregnant women and twenty (20) preeclamptic pregnant women in their third trimester. Blood samples were collected and processed using a bucket centrifuge at 2500 RPM for 10 minutes, and plasma was stored frozen for further analysis. Tyrosine Kinase 1 was analyzed by fluorescence immunoassay, and Creatinine Kinase was measured using a spectrophotometric method. Data obtained were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 9, with results expressed as mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was set at a P-value of ≤ 0.05. The study found a statistically significant increase in the levels of both CK and TK1 in preeclamptic women compared to normotensive controls. These findings suggest that CK and TK1 could serve as predictive biomarkers for identifying and monitoring preeclampsia, aiding in early diagnosis and timely interventions

Stroke occurs due to a blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain, leading to tissue damage and functional impairment, which can result in death.
