Administrative capacity has long been recognized as a fundamental determinant of governmental effectiveness, yet its role in executive service delivery, particularly in relation to government protocol functions, remains conceptually underdeveloped in public administration scholarship. Existing studies on administrative capacity predominantly focus on policy formulation, implementation, and citizen-facing service delivery, while research on executive governance and executive support systems often treats internal support functions in aggregate terms. As a result, the specific contribution of protocol functions—as administrative, symbolic, and coordinative mechanisms that sustain executive leadership—has been largely overlooked. Addressing this gap, this literature review examines how administrative capacity operates within executive service delivery, with a particular emphasis on government protocol functions as an integral component of executive support and governance coordination. The primary objective of this article is to synthesize and integrate dispersed theoretical and empirical insights to reconceptualize protocol functions within the broader framework of Administrative Capacity Theory. Employing a narrative–integrative literature review approach, the study systematically selected and analyzed peer-reviewed journal articles from major academic databases published within the last five years. The literature was examined through thematic analysis and conceptual synthesis, guided by Administrative Capacity Theory as the core framework and complemented by perspectives on executive service delivery, institutional capacity, street-level bureaucracy, public service professionalism, and governance coordination. The review identifies recurring patterns indicating that effective executive service delivery depends on the interaction of individual-level capacities (professional competence, discretion, and ethics), organizational-level capacities (structures, procedures, and coordination routines), and system-level capacities (institutional arrangements and governance mechanisms).

Digital transformation has become a central agenda in local governments seeking to improve the effectiveness, accessibility, and reliability of public service delivery, particularly in population administration services that constitute the legal foundation of citizenship. In Indonesia, the Surabaya City Government has implemented the Klampid New Generation (KNG) program as an integrated digital platform for population administration services, aiming to streamline civil registration processes, enhance service quality, and expand citizen access. Despite its technological ambition, the implementation of digital population administration services continues to face persistent challenges related to administrative capacity, especially at the municipal level where services are operationalized and directly experienced by citizens. This issue raises an urgent academic and practical question regarding how administrative capacity shapes the performance and sustainability of digital public services within the broader digital government transformation. This article aims to synthesize and critically evaluate the existing scholarly literature on administrative capacity in the implementation of digital population administration services, with analytical relevance to the KNG program in Surabaya City Government. Employing an integrative literature review design, the study systematically examines peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2021 and 2025, retrieved from Scopus, DOAJ, Google Scholar, and SINTA databases. Articles were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and analyzed using thematic and conceptual synthesis techniques. The review identifies key dimensions of administrative capacity that consistently influence digital service implementation, including institutional and organizational arrangements, human resource competence, technological and infrastructural readiness, regulatory and procedural alignment, inter-organizational coordination, and the role of street-level bureaucrats in frontline service delivery.

Conflicts in transmigration areas are generally multidimensional and influenced by social, economic, land, and institutional factors. This study aims to identify the forms and distribution of conflicts in three districts of the transmigration area, namely Momi Waren District, Ransiki District, and Oransbari District, as well as to formulate a smart system-based conflict resolution approach through the use of spatial data, local institutions, and local wisdom-based settlement practices. Based on field mapping, four main categories of conflict were identified: 1) Land conflicts occur throughout the transmigration sites in the form of claims to transmigration land that has not been handed over to transmigrants because the compensation price is below normal. In addition, there is no ATR BPN office in South Manokwari Regency, one of whose functions is community empowerment and conflict resolution. 2) Economic conflicts occur because transmigrants are registered and recorded in the population registry, making it easy for them to access capital. Several economic activities in agriculture and transportation services are dominated by transmigrants, causing economic jealousy. 3) Social conflicts occur when the distribution of social assistance is uneven and the excessive use of illegally sold alcoholic beverages causes social unrest. 4) Institutional conflicts occur when civil servants, police, and military personnel are recruited, and not all indigenous Papuans who are nominated can be accommodated, requiring the involvement of tribal councils to formulate recommendations for recruitment that prioritize indigenous Papuans. The root causes of the conflict were analyzed using a root cause analysis approach that covered unclear land boundaries, unequal economic access, weak coordination between institutions, and low social trust due to differences in interests between groups. This study utilizes best practices from the Tribal Council, the South Manokwari Regency Transmigration and Manpower Office, the Religious Harmony Forum, and the Social Services Office as the basis for developing smart maps for an early warning system for conflicts. The results of the study formulate a Smart Conflict Resolution System framework consisting of three main components: (1) participatory spatial mapping of conflicts and key actors, (2) integration of institutional databases and social-customary mediation channels, and (3) design of smart maps as a mitigation and decision-making tool in transmigration areas. This system is expected to strengthen collaborative governance, prevent conflict escalation, and realize inclusive and sustainable management of transmigration areas

Type 2 diabetes mellitus in the elderly significantly impacts quality of life (QoL) due to physiological changes in aging, comorbidities,and the risk of chronic complications. Nutritional management is considered a key intervention to improve glycemic control and functional status in the elderly.Objective: To review the current evidence regarding the effect of nutritional interventions on the quality of life in elderly with type 2 diabetes mellitus through a Literature Review approach.Methods: The Literature Review was conducted by identifying articles from the Scopus database published in 2020–2025. The review process included screening based on inclusion-exclusion criteria, eligibility assessment, and narrative synthesis of relevant studies,including controlled trials,quasi-experimental studies, observational studies, and systematic observations.Results: From the selected studies, interventions with a low glycemic index diet and a balanced diet have been shown to reduce HbA1c levels and the risk of complications; a multicomponent program combining diet and exercise produces synergistic effects on glucose control, physical function,and quality of life.Structured nutrition education (DSME) and family involvement improve satisfaction and metabolic outcomes.The use of technology (mobile apps) shows potential in monitoring intake and glucose,although digital literacy challenges and limited sample size and study design are often limitations.Conclusion: Targeted nutrition interventions, especially when combined with exercise, education,family support,and age-friendly technology,have the potential to improve metabolic control and quality of life in older adults with T2DM.Recommendation: Large-scale RCTs and more robust longitudinal studies are needed to establish the long-term effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of multicomponent nutrition interventions and technology adaptations for older adults with multimorbidity.

Canker sores are an inflammation of the oral tissues, generally caused by bacterial and fungal infections. They can cause pain and discomfort and reduce the sufferer's quality of life. Treatment for canker sores has been dominated by synthetic drugs, but they are less popular among the public, especially children, due to discomfort and concerns about side effects. Therefore, we need safer and more easily accepted alternative treatments based on culturally derived materials. This study is to investigate the potential of pineapple and melon stems formulated in the form of gummy candy nanosimplicia as a complementary therapy in the treatment of canker sores. The research method was carried out through a literature review by collecting scientific articles from the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases, then analyzed using VOSviewer software to map emerging research trends and potential. The analysis results indicate that there are approximately 600 articles discussing the active metabolite content in pineapple and melon stems that have antibacterial and antifungal activity, as well as the development of innovative preparations such as gummy candy as a delivery medium for bioactive compounds. The implications of this study indicate that the combination of pineapple stem and melon nanosimplisia has the potential to be developed as a safe, attractive, and effective natural herbal candy product for the prevention and treatment of mouth ulcers, especially in children.

Health behaviors among youth have undergone a significant transformation, shifting from nightlife culture and alcohol consumption toward healthy lifestyles such as community sports (running and padel). This phenomenon, known as the sober curious movement, is triggered by massive interactions in digital spaces. This study aims to analyze the role of social media as a catalyst in the transformation of the sober curious lifestyle and the increased participation of youth in healthy living through a literature review. This research employs a narrative literature review method. Literature searches were conducted through the Consensus database, Google Scholar, and Garuda, covering the period from 2021 to 2026. Data analysis was performed thematically on articles relevant to the digital health behavior of young adults. Findings indicate that social media acts as a primary catalyst through social norm engineering, whereby health is now viewed as a prestigious social status symbol. Digital platforms provide a space for the younger generation to normalise alcohol-free lifestyles, so that they are no longer considered unusual by their peers. The synergy between educational content and online communities accelerates the continuous internalisation of preventive values. Social media effectively shifts the health paradigm of the younger generation from a mere medical obligation to an aspirational digital identity. Public health practitioners need to optimize this digital potential as a proactive health promotion instrument to foster a fitter society in the future.

Cupping therapy is a traditional therapeutic method that has long been recognized in Thibbun Nabawi and continues to be used as a complementary therapy in contemporary healthcare. Along with the development of scientific research, cupping therapy has increasingly been examined from a medical perspective, highlighting the need for an integrative review that combines medical evidence and Islamic perspectives. This study aims to examine cupping therapy from both medical and Islamic perspectives based on a literature review. This study employed a qualitative approach using a literature review design. Data were collected from national and international scientific articles published between 2019 and 2025 through indexed databases, including Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Garuda. The review was complemented by Islamic sources such as the Qur’an, Hadith, and scholarly works on Thibbun Nabawi. Data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis by categorizing findings into medical benefits and religious foundations of cupping therapy. The literature review indicates that cupping therapy has potential medical benefits, including pain reduction, blood pressure control, and improvement of metabolic parameters such as blood glucose and cholesterol levels. From an Islamic perspective, cupping therapy is regarded as part of Thibbun Nabawi and is recommended as a form of human effort to maintain health, while ultimate healing is believed to come from Allah SWT. Cupping therapy demonstrates strong relevance from both medical and religious perspectives. Integrating cupping therapy with modern medical principles and Islamic values may provide a holistic health approach that supports promotive, preventive, and curative healthcare services within complementary medicine.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) requires comprehensive management beyond pharmacological therapy, including sustainable lifestyle-based interventions. Yoga asana, as a form of mind–body intervention, integrates physical postures, breathing techniques, and relaxation practices that may influence metabolic and psychosocial pathways relevant to T2DM. This article aimed to synthesize evidence regarding the physiological mechanisms, clinical effectiveness, and healthcare implementation context of yoga asana in T2DM management, as well as to discuss the role of physicians in integrating this complementary therapy, including within health tourism settings. A narrative literature review was conducted using scientific databases, focusing on publications addressing yoga asana, mind–body interventions, T2DM, and clinical integration. The findings indicate that yoga asana is associated with improved glycemic control, including reductions in fasting blood glucose, postprandial glucose, and HbA1c, alongside modulation of stress-related physiological parameters and psychological well-being. Beyond clinical outcomes, yoga asana shows potential for community-based and health tourism contexts as part of chronic disease lifestyle management. Physicians play a central role in clinical assessment, patient education, coordination with complementary therapy providers, and ongoing monitoring to ensure safe, evidence-based integration. Although current evidence suggests consistent beneficial trends, methodological heterogeneity highlights the need for more standardized and mechanistic research.  

Company value is an important indicator that reflects company performance and investor perceptions of future business prospects and sustainability. Various strategic decisions made by management, such as capital intensity management, investment decisions, and tax aggressiveness policies, play a significant role in shaping company value. This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of capital intensity, investment decisions, and tax aggressiveness on company value through a literature review approach. The method used is a literature review by examining various relevant national and international scientific articles obtained from academic databases such as Google Scholar, Publish or Perish, and SINTA. The results of the study show that capital intensity has a positive effect on company value because it reflects long-term production capacity and operational efficiency. Investment decisions have also been proven to have a positive effect on company value because they signal management's optimism about future growth prospects. Meanwhile, tax aggressiveness can increase company value through tax savings and increased cash flow, but it has the potential to cause reputational and governance risks if done excessively. Overall, the reviewed literature shows that these three variables have an impact on company value, with the caveat that optimal and transparent management is necessary. This study is expected to serve as a reference for further research and as a consideration for company management and investors in making strategic decisions.

Objective: Autoimmune diseases are complex disorders that arise when the immune system loses tolerance to self-antigens, leading to chronic inflammation and tissue damage. To understand disease pathogenesis and to evaluate therapeutic efficacy, animal models are widely used in autoimmune research. This review aims to analyze various types of animal models employed in studies of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), and multiple sclerosis (MS), with a particular focus on reproducibility and clinical applicability. Methods: This study was conducted through the selection and analysis of scientific literature published over the last ten years (2015–2025), using specific keywords including “clinical application,” “autoimmunity,” “animal models,” “humanized mice,” “lupus,” “rheumatoid arthritis,” “reproducibility,” and “translational research.” Literature searches were performed in major databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus. Results: Spontaneous models, such as NOD and MRL/lpr mice, exhibit close resemblance to human disease pathogenesis but are influenced by strain variability and environmental factors. Induced models, including collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), allow greater control over disease onset but do not fully capture the clinical complexity observed in humans. Humanized models demonstrate high translational relevance; however, their use is constrained by high costs and technical limitations. Conclusion: No single animal model is universally ideal for studying autoimmune diseases. Model selection should be based on biological relevance, reproducibility of outcomes, and the potential for clinical translation in autoimmune disease research.

This study aims to determine the relationship between low self-acceptance and the level of self-efficacy in prisoners, as well as its implications on social life after prisoners are released from punishment. The systematic review method  is used with the SPIDER approach to formulate research questions and select relevant articles. The search was conducted through the Publish or Perish, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases with keywords related to self-acceptance, self-efficacy, and inmates. Of the 100 articles identified, 13 studies met the inclusion criteria. The results of the review showed that low self-acceptance was consistently negatively associated with self-efficacy in prisoners, which had an impact on low self-confidence to face social challenges, reintegration, and overcome societal stigma. Psychological factors such as guilt, anxiety, depression, and insecurity can exacerbate low self-acceptance, especially in female inmates. In addition, social support from family, the environment, and psychological interventions have been shown to play an important role in improving self-acceptance and self-efficacy. Interventions such as expressive art therapy, psychoeducation, counseling, skills training, and religious activities have shown effectiveness in improving psychological well-being. These findings underscore the importance of systematic efforts to improve self-acceptance and self-efficacy to support the successful social reintegration of prisoners.

Unequal access to population administration services remains a persistent governance challenge in archipelagic and geographically constrained areas, where spatial dispersion, limited connectivity, and high mobility costs systematically hinder citizens’ ability to obtain legal identity documents. In island regions, weak sea transportation networks, weather-dependent travel, and long distances to administrative centers reduce the feasibility of conventional, office-based service delivery, producing administrative exclusion that undermines equal citizenship. These barriers also intersect with socio-administrative realities, including the prevalence of unregistered marriages (nikah sirri), which constrains civil registration processes and delays the formal recognition of marital status and household composition within population administration systems. Against this backdrop, this review article aims to synthesize reputable scholarly literature on pelayanan jemput bola (mobile/outreach public services) as a policy strategy to advance service inclusivity and administrative justice in population administration, particularly for geographically marginalized communities. Methodologically, the article employs a thematic–conceptual literature review, systematically identifying and analyzing peer-reviewed journal articles and conference proceedings published primarily within the last five to ten years across recognized academic databases. The synthesis identifies key rationales and conceptualizations of outreach services, maps major implementation models (mobile units, community-based outreach, integrated one-stop outreach, and hybrid outreach–digital arrangements), and consolidates recurrent success factors, including local state capacity, inter-actor coordination, frontline discretion, and policy support. It also highlights persistent challenges such as logistical uncertainty, resource constraints, uneven digital readiness, and governance fragmentation across island territories. The article concludes that mobile/outreach population administration services can substantially improve equitable access to legal identity and strengthen civil rights realization in archipelagic contexts, but only when embedded in capacity-building and geography-sensitive governance arrangements. By integrating fragmented strands of scholarship, the review offers a conceptually grounded framework and policy-relevant implications for designing sustainable and just population administration reforms in island regions.

The digital transformation of public service delivery has become a central agenda in contemporary public administration, positioning local governments as critical actors in translating national digital strategies into tangible, citizen-facing outcomes. Despite rapid diffusion of digital platforms and e-government initiatives, substantial variation persists in the performance, inclusiveness, and sustainability of digital public services across local contexts. This variation points to persistent challenges related to administrative capacity constraints within local governments and uneven levels of citizen readiness to access and use digital services. Addressing these challenges, this article presents a comprehensive literature review that aims to (1) map the conceptual evolution of digital public service delivery in local governments, (2) synthesize empirical findings on the roles of administrative capacity and citizen readiness, and (3) identify key theoretical and empirical gaps in the existing scholarship. Methodologically, the study adopts a systematic literature review approach, drawing on peer-reviewed journal articles published in the last five years and indexed in major academic databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ, and Google Scholar. The selected literature is analyzed using thematic synthesis, guided by an integrated theoretical framework combining Digital Government Theory and Digital Era Governance as overarching transformation lenses, Administrative Capacity and Capacity Building Theory and Competency-Based Human Resource Management to explain organizational and human resource determinants, Digital Divide Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model to capture citizen-side readiness and adoption dynamics, and Policy Implementation Theory to account for institutional and regulatory mediation. The synthesis reveals several dominant patterns: digital service performance is strongly conditioned by leadership, coordination, information capacity, and workforce competencies; citizen uptake is shaped not only by access and skills but also by perceived usefulness, ease of use, and trust; and policy design and implementation processes mediate the interaction between supply-side capacity and demand-side readiness. Importantly, the review shows that these factors are mutually constitutive rather than independent, challenging linear and technology-centric models of digital transformation. The article concludes by advancing an integrative conceptual understanding of local digital public service delivery and by outlining theoretical implications for digital public administration research as well as practical policy recommendations for designing inclusive, capacity-sensitive, and sustainable digital public services at the local level.

The SMK N 3 Kendal Library is a vital resource supporting teaching and learning activities at the school. However, the manual process of registering and identifying library members often presents various challenges, such as data entry errors, service delays, and difficulties in membership verification. Based on these challenges, a QR Code-based member and library book registration system was designed and developed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of membership data management. This system was built using the Waterfall system development method, with stages including needs analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. QR Code technology serves as a unique identifier for each member, stored in the database and can be scanned using a digital device to expedite the identification process. System testing results indicate that implementing QR Codes in the member registration system can accelerate the library's book borrowing process at the school, including registration, data retrieval, and member verification, by up to 80% compared to manual methods. Therefore, this system can help the library improve service effectiveness, minimize data input errors, and support more modern and integrated library administration.

Pregnancy is a physiological process that occurs in women, approximately 50% of women at the beginning of their pregnancy experience nausea and vomiting to varying degrees. Nausea and vomiting usually occur in the morning during early pregnancy or the first trimester, which is called morning sickness. There are many methods of treating nausea. and vomiting in pregnant women in the first trimester, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological. One non-pharmacological way is to use lemon, lavender and peppermint aromatherapy. This research method uses a literature review which includes a systematic search study of computerized databases (Google School and PubMed) taken within the last 5 years from 2019-2024. The articles obtained in the search were 12 journals, but after reviewing the articles and adjusting them to the titles, there were 5 journals. Conclusion: Lemon and peppermint aromatherapy have the same effectiveness in reducing nausea and vomiting in pregnant women, while lemon aromatherapy is more effective than lavender aromatherapy.

The SIAP Application is an innovation developed as a solution to support the archiving business process in the Planning Bureau. Currently, most employees still use computers and a web-based cloud system developed by Pusdatin using the PHP programming language as a storage medium for files that are no longer actively used and are categorized as dynamic archives. However, the cloud system does not have a well-structured archive management system, which often causes difficulties when employees need to retrieve archived files. As a result, employees must search for files manually by checking archived documents one by one in the cloud. This process is time-consuming and may lead to problems such as difficulties in finding files and the risk of data loss. Based on these conditions, the SIAP Application was developed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of archive management in the Planning Bureau.The SIAP Application has an advantage in the archiving process, where employees can easily search for archives using the letter number or subject that has been entered into the system. The system will automatically display the required archive, making the retrieval process faster, more accurate, and more organized compared to the previous cloud system.The development of the SIAP Application uses PHP and HTML as the programming languages, with Bootstrap and Tailwind CSS as the user interface frameworks, and MySQL as the database. The system development method used is the Waterfall model, problem analysis is carried out using the PIECES method, and system testing is conducted through black-box testing and the System Usability Scale (SUS) to measure system usability.

This study aims to analyze the role of financial factors in encouraging corporate tax aggressiveness using a literature review approach. Taxes are a major source of government revenue, making tax aggressiveness an important issue in accounting and taxation research. This study applies the Systematic Literature review (SLR) method by examining previous studies related to leverage, capital intensity, and profitability in influencing tax aggressiveness. Data were obtained from scientific articles indexed in academic databases such as Sinta 2 and Scopus published between 2020 and 2024. The results show that leverage in several studies has a positive effect on tax aggressiveness because interest expenses can reduce taxable income. Capital intensity shows mixed findings, including positive, negative, and insignificant effects on tax aggressiveness. Profitability also presents inconsistent results across studies. Overall, financial factors have varying roles in influencing corporate tax aggressiveness, and factors such as leverage, capital intensity, and profitability play a very important role in determining how much a company engages in tax avoidance practices.

Personal financial management behavior has gained prominence amid economic globalization, digital transformation, and crisis-induced shifts that reshape individual decision-making, budgeting, saving, and risk practices. This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to chart the intellectual structure, growth patterns, and future orientations of research in this domain. Drawing on 312 English-language publications from the Scopus database spanning 2000 to 2024, the analysis employs VOSviewer for co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, and co-citation mapping, complemented by performance metrics on trends and productivity. Findings reveal a marked acceleration in scholarly output, particularly after 2020, driven by heightened attention to digital tools and resilience factors. Thematic clusters highlight progression from foundational literacy and demographic influences to psychological mediators (e.g., self-efficacy, attitudes) and outcomes centered on well-being and socialization. Geographic contributions concentrate in the United States and Indonesia, with strong Asia-Pacific networks, while productive authors form specialized collaborative hubs. The intellectual base integrates behavioral frameworks with empirical applications, underscoring interdisciplinary depth. These insights address fragmentation in prior work by providing a unified knowledge map, revealing gaps in cross-cultural integration and dynamic digital modeling. Implications extend to guiding targeted interventions for financial education and policy, fostering individual resilience in volatile environments. This synthesis supports scholars and practitioners in advancing evidence-based approaches to sustainable personal finance practices.
