This study analyzes the effect of Village Fund Allocation (ADD) and Village Original Revenue (PADes) on village expenditure in the villages of Bone Raya District, Bone Bolango Regency. The research was motivated by two fiscal phenomena: PADes remained very small and unequal across villages, while relatively similar ADD allocations did not produce similar development expenditure outcomes. A quantitative causal-associative approach was applied using secondary data from APBDes realization reports for four villages—Alo, Bunga, Mootayu, and Mootinello—during 2023–2025. The data consisted of 36 quarterly observations and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The regression result shows that ADD has a positive and significant effect on village expenditure, with a coefficient of 0.844 and a significance value of 0.000. PADes has a positive but insignificant effect, with a coefficient of 0.065 and a significance value of 0.064. Simultaneously, ADD and PADes significantly affect village expenditure, explaining 56.7% of its variation. These findings indicate that village expenditure in Bone Raya District remains highly dependent on government transfers, while PADes has not yet become a decisive source of village fiscal capacity. Strengthening local revenue generation, asset management, BUMDes development, and participatory budgeting is therefore essential to improve fiscal independence and expenditure effectiveness.

Income inequality is a structural development problem that can trigger social conflict, affect long-term economic growth, and hinder the achievement of SDGs. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that contribute to income inequality in East Java Province by combining demographic, social, and economic factors. The data used includes panel data from 38 districts and cities in East Java Province between 2017 and 2023 period. The analysis method used is panel data regression with a fixed effect model. To measure the effect of variables on income inequality, the testing was conducted partially and simultaneosly. The individual test results show that elderly dependency and poverty have a positive and significant relationship, while the human development index and economic growth are proportional but not significantly, and the open unemployment rate is not significant negative. Simultaneously, all variables have a significant effect on income inequality of 55.67 percent, with the remaining 44.37 percent influenced by variables outside the scope of this study.

Evacuation planning in spatial networks requires the identification of critical nodes that maintain connectivity, accessibility, and flow distribution during emergency situations. Existing approaches often rely on individual centrality measures, which capture only a single structural dimension of node importance and may therefore produce incomplete or biased prioritization. To address this limitation, this study proposes a Composite Centrality Framework for identifying critical nodes in meso-scale spatial networks with semi-structured connectivity. The network is modeled as a weighted undirected graph, and Degree, Betweenness, and Closeness Centrality are integrated into a unified composite index to capture complementary structural roles. The framework is implemented in MATLAB and evaluated using a real-world campus spatial network consisting of 30 nodes and a synthetic network comprising 16 nodes with comparable structural characteristics. The results reveal a highly uneven distribution of node importance, with a small set of structurally dominant nodes consistently identified across both networks. In the campus network, node P1 achieves the highest composite centrality score (0.2195) and ranks first across the individual centrality measures, indicating its dominant role in maintaining network connectivity, accessibility, and flow distribution. Quantitative evaluation demonstrates strong agreement between the composite ranking and the individual measures, with Spearman rank correlation coefficients of 0.94, 0.89, and 0.91 for Degree, Betweenness, and Closeness Centrality, respectively. However, only one node (P1) appears simultaneously in the top five of all rankings, highlighting the complementary nature of the individual centrality measures and supporting the need for multi-criteria integration. Sensitivity analysis across three weighting scenarios yields rank correlations exceeding 0.97, confirming ranking stability and methodological robustness. Overall, the proposed framework provides a balanced and reliable approach for identifying critical nodes and demonstrates potential applicability to evacuation planning and spatial network analysis in semi-structured environments.

A chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to insulin resistance or impaired insulin secretion is classified as type 2 diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of diabetes continues to rise each year and has become one of the major challenges in global health due to its potential to cause serious complications, such as cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, neuropathy, and vision impairment. In addition to pharmacological therapy, the use of herbal plants is increasingly being developed as a complementary therapy because they are considered safer, more readily available, and contain bioactive compounds with potential antidiabetic properties. This review article aims to assess the effectiveness of several herbal plants namely cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), bitter melon (Momordica charantia), and moringa (Moringa oleifera) in aiding the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus based on various research findings. This study employs a literature review method by collecting and analyzing various national and international scientific publications related to the antidiabetic activity of these four plants. The review results indicate that all plants have potential as adjunct therapies for diabetes because they contain active compounds such as flavonoids, polyphenols, cinnamaldehyde, charantin, quercetin, trigonelline, and saponins, which can help reduce blood glucose levels, optimize cellular response to insulin, increase GLUT4 activity, and help minimize oxidative damage. Based on the study results, moringa and cinnamon plants demonstrated the most consistent effectiveness in contributing to blood sugar control in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Thus, these herbal plants have the potential to be used as complementary therapies in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus; however, their use must still adhere to proper dosing and should not replace primary medical therapy.

A safe and inclusive learning environment is an important factor in supporting the educational process. However, various forms of bullying behavior, such as teasing, giving negative nicknames, and social exclusion, are still found in schools and may hinder the creation of a comfortable and child-friendly learning environment. This community service activity aimed to improve students’ understanding of bullying and its impacts, as well as to instill the values of mutual respect as an effort to create a safe and inclusive learning environment. The activity was conducted at SD Negeri 2 Muara Batu, Aceh Utara Regency, through the XXXVIII Community Service and Empowerment Program (KKN-PPM) of Malikussaleh University in 2026. The methods used were educational and participatory approaches implemented through preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. The activities were carried out through socialization sessions, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, simulations, and educational games. The results showed an improvement in students’ understanding of the forms, causes, and impacts of bullying, including verbal, physical, and social bullying. In addition, students demonstrated more positive attitudes, such as increased awareness of respecting differences, treating peers with respect, reducing teasing behavior, and developing empathy and concern for others. The activity also received positive responses from the school, as it was considered supportive of character education and the creation of a more conducive learning atmosphere. Therefore, anti-bullying education through educational and participatory approaches can serve as an effective strategy for creating a safe, comfortable, and inclusive learning environment for elementary school students.

This article examines the impact of dehumanization in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the formation of the personality of future priests in light of the teachings of Pastores Dabo Vobis, particular number 43-44, as well as from Philosophical and theological perspectives. The development of AI brings significant changes in the way human think, relate, and build their self-identity. On the one hand, AI offers great opportunities to support intellectual formation through access to information, pastoral simulations, and digital learning. However, on the other hand, the dominance of technology has the potential to cause dehumanization, namely a reduction in the quality of interpersonal relationships, the depth of reflection and sensitivity. This study employs a literature review method, examining relevant theological, philosophical, and scientific literature. The findings indicate that excessive reliance on AI can disrupt the development of the human dimension in seminarians, particularly regarding affective maturity, relational competence, and the integrity of personal identity. From a philosophical perspective, humans are understood as free, rational, and relational beings; thus, reducing humans to mere components of an algorithmic system contradicts their very nature. Meanwhile, theology affirms human dignity as the Imago Dei, which cannot be replaced by technology. Therefore, a critical and prudent formation approach is required, one that positions AI as an aid, not a substitute for human relationships.

This study examines how tax knowledge, the use of e-filing systems, and the enforcement of tax penalties influence individual taxpayers’ compliance in filing annual tax returns. Tax compliance is a critical factor for the sustainability of government revenue, yet public compliance rates remain suboptimal. The research employs a quantitative approach with an associative causal design, involving 131 respondents in West Jakarta selected through convenience sampling. The instrument, consisting of a questionnaire with 34 items, was tested for validity and reliability and then analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS. The results of the analysis indicate that tax knowledge, the use of e-filing, and tax penalties have a positive effect—both partially and simultaneously—on compliance with annual tax return filing. These findings underscore the need to improve tax literacy, strengthen the e-filing system, and ensure consistent enforcement of penalties to encourage compliance. This study provides an empirical basis for the development of more inclusive and efficient tax policies and supports the government’s strategy to optimize state revenue by raising taxpayer awareness and fostering a sense of responsibility.

This study aims to identify the management system for Taman Imbi by the Department of Public Works and Public Housing (Dinas PUPR) and to analyze its comfort level based on the perceptions of park visitors and street vendors (PKL). Taman Imbi, managed by the PUPR Service (Section for Environmental Management and Parks), is one of the main urban parks in the city center of North Jayapura District. The research uses a descriptive, qualitative approach combined with Likert-scale analysis. Primary data were obtained from questionnaires distributed to 100 park visitors and 10 business actors (PKL) operating around the park. Eight comfort indicators were assessed, based on Hakim (2003): aesthetics, cleanliness, safety, noise, circulation, aroma, physical form, and climate/natural forces. Results indicate that, based on visitor perceptions, the overall comfort level was 56.0% (fairly good), while PKL perceptions were 64.4% (good). Among all indicators, circulation scored the lowest for visitors (46.2%), particularly ease of access. Aroma/odor scored the highest for PKL (80.0%). The study recommends rehabilitating park facilities, reactivating security posts, improving pedestrian and parking access, and clarifying spatial zoning for economic and community activities in the park.

This study aims to analyze the effect of public satisfaction on political participation in the 2024 single-candidate regional election (Pilkada) in Batanghari Regency. Political participation in elections is an important indicator of democratic quality, especially in a single-candidate contest where electoral competition is limited. The research employed a quantitative explanatory approach with a sample of 151 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using simple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics to determine the relationship between public satisfaction and political participation. The results indicate that public satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on political participation, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.510. This means that 51% of the variation in political participation can be explained by public satisfaction, while the remaining percentage is influenced by other factors not included in this study. However, voter turnout in the 2024 election declined compared to the previous regional election. These findings suggest that public satisfaction is not the sole factor influencing political participation, as the level of political competition in a single-candidate election also plays an important and contextual role in shaping voter behavior and turnout.

Penerapan asas sederhana, cepat, dan biaya ringan merupakan prinsip fundamental dalam penyelenggaraan peradilan sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 2 ayat (4) Undang-Undang Nomor 48 Tahun 2009 tentang Kekuasaan Kehakiman. Namun, dalam praktiknya, penerapan asas tersebut masih menghadapi berbagai kendala, termasuk pada perkara yang memiliki tingkat kompleksitas rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas penerapan asas sederhana, cepat, dan biaya ringan dalam Putusan Nomor 73/Pdt.G/2025/PN Yyk serta mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan penerapannya belum optimal. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan kasus, yang dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif melalui studi terhadap peraturan perundang-undangan, doktrin hukum, dan putusan pengadilan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa asas sederhana dan biaya ringan telah diterapkan dengan baik, terlihat dari ruang lingkup sengketa yang terbatas, pembuktian yang sederhana, serta biaya perkara yang relatif terjangkau. Namun, asas cepat belum terlaksana secara optimal karena penyelesaian perkara tetap memerlukan waktu sekitar empat bulan meskipun tergugat mengakui dalil gugatan dan didukung alat bukti ilmiah berupa hasil pemeriksaan DNA. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi belum optimalnya penerapan asas tersebut meliputi kegagalan mediasi, adanya perbaikan gugatan (renvoi), kecenderungan formalistik dalam pelaksanaan prosedur peradilan, serta faktor administrasi dan manajemen peradilan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan optimalisasi peran mediator, peningkatan kualitas penyusunan gugatan, penerapan manajemen perkara yang lebih adaptif, serta pemanfaatan teknologi peradilan secara maksimal guna mewujudkan peradilan yang lebih efektif, efisien, dan berorientasi pada akses terhadap keadilan.

This study investigates the critical factors influencing job satisfaction among night shift employees at RSUD KHZ Musthafa Singaparna Tasikmalaya, given the inherent challenges of 24-hour hospital operations. Night shift workers are particularly susceptible to physical and psychological strain, which can elevate job stress and disrupt work-life balance, ultimately threatening their job satisfaction. The research employs a quantitative associative approach, utilizing Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to 75 night shift staff selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression with SPSS. Instrument validation confirmed that all items were both valid and reliable. Partial regression results reveal that job stress exerts a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction (t = 3.106, Sig. = 0.003), while work-life balance also demonstrates a positive and significant impact (t = 1.815, Sig. = 0.044). Simultaneously, both variables together significantly influence job satisfaction (F = 10.121, Sig. < 0.001), with an RSquare of 0.419, indicating that 41.9% of the variance is explained by the model, while 58.1% is attributable to external factors. These findings underscore the importance for hospital management to actively manage job stress through targeted interventions and design equitable shift scheduling policies. Such strategies are essential to sustaining high levels of employee satisfaction, which in turn supports both staff well-being and the quality of patient care in a demanding healthcare environment.

This study explores the business model of the .GIS platform product developed by Circlegeo using the Nine Buildings framework based on the Business Model Canvas and the Theory of Change framework to analyze the social impact created by the .GIS platform. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and systematic document analysis. The results show a shift in the business model. In 2022, Circlegeo shifted its target market from its previous focus on B2C and B2G customer segments to B2B and B2G, which will continue until 2026. The social impact analysis also shows that the .GIS platform's contribution to society is not only practical for geospatial analysis but also its usefulness in academic research. These findings indicate that Circlegeo positions the .GIS platform as a dual-purpose PLG instrument: introducing the company to potential customers of other paid products while simultaneously creating independent social impact. Previous research on freemium and product-led growth (PLG) business models has generally positioned free strategies as customer acquisition tools toward monetization, with limited potential for creating tangible social impact. This research contributes to the literature on PLG and freemium business models by demonstrating that such strategies can be a pathway to authentic social impact creation, not simply a step towards monetization.

Tax avoidance practices remain a crucial issue due to their potential to erode state revenue and hinder national development financing. This study aims to analyze and evaluate the effect of fixed capital intensity, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance, and political connections on tax avoidance practices. The research method used is quantitative with a panel data analysis approach under the selected Random Effect Model (REM) estimation. The research population covers all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2023–2024 period. Through the purposive sampling method, a final sample of 259 companies was obtained, resulting in 518 observation data over two years. The partial empirical results demonstrate that fixed capital intensity has a significant negative effect on tax avoidance. Conversely, both ESG performance and political connections are proven to have a significant positive effect on tax avoidance. Simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly influence corporate tax avoidance actions, contributing an Adjusted R-squared value of 10.43%. The practical implication of this study emphasizes the urgent need for tax authorities to increase oversight on companies indicated to be utilizing ESG reporting as a greenwashing strategy or leveraging political protection to avoid taxes. For corporate management, these findings serve as an evaluation to align sustainability commitments with ethical fiscal compliance.
