Wireless Medical Sensor Networks (WMSNs) are a key component of modern Healthcare Internet of Things (IoT) systems, enabling continuous and real-time monitoring of patients’ physiological parameters. These networks support timely medical intervention, improve patient outcomes, and facilitate remote healthcare delivery. However, due to the open and resource-constrained nature of WMSNs, they are highly susceptible to various security threats, particularly during the authentication phase. Existing authentication protocols have been found vulnerable to a range of attacks, including impersonation, session key disclosure, and gateway database compromise, which can lead to severe privacy breaches and potentially life-threatening situations. To address these issues, this paper proposes a secure and lightweight three-factor authentication protocol tailored for WMSNs in healthcare IoT environments. The proposed protocol integrates Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for strong public key-based security with minimal computational overhead, fuzzy extractors to securely handle biometric information and ensure resistance against biometric template compromise, and session-based randomness to achieve forward secrecy and prevent replay or key-compromise impersonation attacks. Security analysis demonstrates that the proposed protocol successfully mitigates prominent threats such as impersonation attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, session key leakage, and database compromise. In addition, the protocol ensures mutual authentication between the user, the gateway, and the sensor nodes, while maintaining data confidentiality and integrity. Performance evaluation indicates that the protocol offers significantly reduced computational cost and communication delay compared to existing schemes. Its low energy consumption and minimal storage requirements make it suitable for deployment in resource-constrained medical devices and large-scale IoT healthcare networks. The results highlight the protocol’s scalability, energy efficiency, and robustness, making it a practical and secure solution for safeguarding patient data and ensuring trustworthy communication in WMSNs-based healthcare IoT systems.

Feed is a key component in catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) cultivation because it directly affects the growth rate, health, and productivity of the fish. Among the various nutrients contained in feed, protein plays a crucial role, particularly in the formation and repair of fish body tissues. Adequate protein content supports optimal growth, while protein deficiency can reduce productivity. Therefore, analyzing protein levels in feed is essential to ensure its quality. This study aimed to analyze protein levels in catfish feed using the Kjeldahl method. The analysis was conducted at the Pekanbaru Center for Standardization and Industrial Services (BSPJI). The Kjeldahl method was chosen because it is known to have a high level of accuracy and reliability. The procedure involves three main stages: destruction, distillation, and titration. The working principle of this method is to convert organic nitrogen in the sample into ammonia, which is then captured and measured to determine nitrogen levels, which are then converted to protein levels. In this study, five feed samples with codes U-139 to U-142 were used. The test results showed that the protein content of the samples ranged from 20.44% to 23.09%. Furthermore, a Relative Percent Difference (RPD) value of 0.0013% was obtained, indicating a very high level of measurement precision. The analysis results were then compared with the fish feed quality standards based on SNI 2534:2006, and it was found that all samples met the minimum protein content requirements. Thus, this study confirms the effective and accurate use of the Kjeldahl method in analyzing protein content in catfish feed. These results also provide important information for farmers and feed producers in ensuring the quality of feed used to support catfish farming productivity.

This study aims to describe the understanding of high school students in solving high, medium, and low category HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) problems and to explore the students' responses in solving problems related to the material of SPLTV (System of Linear Equations with Three Variables). This research is qualitative in nature, using a descriptive method. The subject selection technique used purposive sampling, involving three students from class X IPA/IPS SMAIT Nurul Fajri, with a total of 19 students. The data collection techniques included written tests on mathematical concept understanding using HOTS, interviews, and documentation. Based on the research results, it was found that the students' understanding of mathematical concepts in solving HOTS problems varied. The subject NF-17, with high ability, was able to answer well, including restating the concepts studied in problems 1, 2, and 4, classifying objects based on concepts, applying concepts algorithmically, relating various mathematical concepts internally or externally, providing examples or counterexamples, and presenting concepts in various representations in problems 1, 3, and 4. The subject NF-18, with medium ability, showed more limited results. Although able to restate concepts in problem 4, this subject could only classify objects based on concepts and apply concepts algorithmically in problems 1 and 4. This subject could only provide examples or counterexamples in problem 1. The subject NF-10, with low ability, was only able to restate concepts studied in problem 1 and did not show more in-depth understanding in other problems. These findings indicate variations in students' understanding of mathematical concepts in the SPLTV material.

This study aims to determine the effect of using educational gim-based learning media on students' math learning outcomes on the material of Linear Equation One Variable (PLSV). The background of this research is the low student learning outcomes in conventional math learning which is considered less interesting, especially in PLSV material which is abstract. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design and a nonequivalent control group design. The sample consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class (using educational gim media) and the control class (using conventional methods), which were taken from VII grade students of MTs Ra’iyatul Husnan, Wringin Bondowoso. The research instrument was in the form of pretest and posttest tests that had gone through validity and reliability tests. The pretest results showed that both classes had relatively balanced initial abilities. However, in the posttest, the learning outcomes of experimental class students showed a more significant increase than the control class. The data were analyzed using normality, homogeneity, and Mann-Whitney U Test hypothesis tests because the posttest data were not normally distributed. The analysis results showed a significance value of Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) significance value of 0.000 <0.05, which means there is a significant effect of using educational gim media on student learning outcomes. This finding shows that interesting and interactive learning media such as educational gims can improve students' motivation, understanding and learning outcomes in mathematics. Therefore, the use of educational gims is recommended as an innovative alternative in learning mathematics, especially on material that is abstract and difficult for students to understand.

This study aims to describe students' critical thinking skills in solving social arithmetic problems based on the Polya stages and FRISCO indicators. The research subjects consisted of three students in grade VIII R-5 MTs Nurul Jadid who were purposively selected to represent the high, medium, and low ability categories out of a total of 21 students. The research method used was a descriptive qualitative approach with instruments in the form of two social arithmetic description questions and semi-structured interview guidelines. Data analysis was carried out by referring to the four stages of problem solving according to Polya (understanding the problem, planning the solution, executing the plan, and re-examination) as well as the six FRISCO critical thinking indicators (Focus, Reason, Inference, Situation, Clarity, Overview). The results of the study showed that students with high abilities were able to solve problems systematically through all stages of Polya and met almost all FRISCO indicators, especially in the aspects of Focus, Reason, and Clarity. Students with moderate ability show sufficient understanding but are inconsistent in planning and implementing solutions, and experience difficulties in the Reason, Situation, and Overview indicators. Students with low abilities experience obstacles from the early stages of understanding problems and do not show significant indicators of critical thinking. These findings indicate that the Polya stage and the FRISCO indicator can be used in a complementary manner to identify and analyze students' critical thinking skills in solving contextual math problems. The implication of this study is the need for a learning strategy that emphasizes strengthening the stages of problem solving and developing explicit critical thinking indicators in the mathematics learning process. This research also opens up opportunities for the development of more structured diagnostic instruments in measuring students' individual critical thinking skills.

This study aims to analyze the sentiment of customer reviews of the Grand Jatra Hotel Pekanbaru on the Google Review platform using the Naïve Bayes algorithm. Social media and online review platforms are increasingly becoming the primary source of information for potential customers in making purchasing decisions, particularly in the hospitality sector. Therefore, sentiment analysis of customer reviews is crucial for understanding consumer perceptions and providing strategic input for hotels in improving service quality. The research data was collected using web scraping techniques to obtain publicly available customer reviews. The obtained data was then processed through text preprocessing stages including case folding, tokenizing, normalization, stopword removal, and stemming. The Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) method was then used to weight each word, so that more relevant words have a greater influence in the classification process. The sentiment classification process was carried out into two main categories, namely positive and negative. The Naïve Bayes model was trained using training data and then tested with test data to measure the algorithm's performance in classifying sentiment. The evaluation results show that the model built is able to achieve an accuracy level of 98%, with a precision value of 97% and a recall of 100% in the positive class, and 92% in the negative class. These findings confirm that the Naïve Bayes algorithm can be effectively used in analyzing customer sentiment towards hotel services and facilities. Practically, the results of this study are expected to provide insight for the management of Grand Jatra Hotel Pekanbaru in understanding customer perceptions, identifying service strengths and weaknesses, and formulating more targeted marketing strategies. In addition, this study can also be a reference for the development of similar studies in the hotel industry and other service sectors.

The nutritional status of primary school-aged children is an important indicator for monitoring their growth and development. This study aims to describe the nutritional status of the 4A grade students at SD 064981 Cempaka Raya based on anthropometric data and analyze the relationship between their consumption of school snacks and their nutritional status categories. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with total sampling of 20 students. Data was collected through measurements of height and weight, which were then processed using the WHO Anthro Plus software to determine the students' nutritional status categories. The measurement results show that 25% of the students are categorized as undernourished, 50% are within normal nutritional status, 20% are overweight, and 5% are obese. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test revealed a highly significant relationship (p<0.001) between snack consumption patterns at school and nutritional status. The results show that all students who have the habit of consuming snacks are more likely to be categorized as overweight or obese, while students who do not consume snacks tend to be in the undernourished or normal category. These findings indicate that snack consumption patterns can be a risk factor for excess nutrition in children. Therefore, it is crucial to educate students about the importance of balanced and healthy eating habits from an early age. Monitoring snack consumption at school is also necessary to minimize the risk of obesity and excess nutrition in children. Preventive measures like these are expected to prevent health issues related to nutrition and promote healthy and optimal growth in children. By encouraging good eating habits, we can help create a healthier generation and reduce the risk of nutrition-related diseases.

This study aims to investigate the sensory characteristics and nutritional content of macarons with the addition of kecombrang flower essential oil (Etlingera elatior). The research was conducted to determine the effects of various concentrations of kecombrang flower essential oil (3%, 5%, and 7%) on macaron quality. The sensory attributes evaluated included color, aroma, taste, texture, and overall preference, while nutritional analysis focused on key macronutrients such as carbohydrates, sugar, fat, protein, and ash content. The sensory evaluation utilized a single-factor ANOVA and Duncan's multiple range test to compare the effects of the different concentrations of essential oil. The results indicated that the addition of 5% kecombrang essential oil yielded the most favorable sensory scores, with the highest ratings in color (4.20) and texture (4.29). Furthermore, aroma and taste were rated highly, confirming that this concentration enhanced the overall quality of the macarons. Although the likeability score did not show significant statistical differences between treatments, all treatments were generally categorized as “liked” by the panel. For the nutritional content analysis, the macaron sample with 5% essential oil was selected for testing through a proxy method. The results indicated that the macaron had a carbohydrate content of 46.31%, sugar content of 31.62%, fat content of 3.05%, protein content of 19.08%, and ash content of 0.14%. These findings are noteworthy, as the macaron with kecombrang flower essential oil showed lower carbohydrate and fat content compared to a typical macaron, while it exhibited higher protein content. These results suggest that macarons with kecombrang essential oil may offer a healthier alternative to conventional macarons, particularly for those seeking lower sugar and fat content in their diet.

Indonesia, as one of the world’s megabiodiversity countries, possesses vast tropical forests rich in biodiversity and natural resources. Recognizing their ecological and socio-economic importance, the Indonesian government has introduced various forestry policies to preserve forest ecosystems and improve community welfare. One of the key strategies is decentralized forest management, designed to encourage participatory, inclusive, and locally contextual governance. This study adopts a literature review method, drawing from previous research, scientific articles, and relevant policy documents. The objective is to deepen the understanding of deforestation reduction ef-forts, particularly in the context of limited awareness regarding community activities that may harm both social life and environmental sustainability. The primary focus is on assessing the im-pacts of deforestation on socio-ecological resilience, with special attention to the effectiveness of decentralized forestry policies. Findings indicate that deforestation exerts significant and multi-faceted effects on resilience, especially in communities highly dependent on forests for livelihoods and living space. From an ecological perspective, deforestation contributes to biodiversity loss, degradation of ecosystem services, declining soil quality, and weakened ecosystem resilience against environmental change. Such ecological disruptions threaten environmental balance and increase the risks of disasters and natural resource crises, which can have long-lasting implications. Socially, deforestation can undermine local livelihoods, exacerbate poverty, and weaken traditional knowledge systems. These combined effects reduce a community’s capacity to adapt to environ-mental challenges. Therefore, strengthening forestry governance—particularly through decentral-ization and enhanced community participation—is essential to curb deforestation and safeguard socio-ecological sustainability at the local level. Effective implementation requires aligning policy frameworks with local needs, empowering community institutions, and ensuring equitable access to forest benefits.

Hypertension is a chronic disease characterized by persistently elevated blood pressure. This condition occurs when the arteries narrow, obstructing blood flow and increasing pressure on the vessel walls. As a result, the heart is forced to work harder to pump blood throughout the body. If this condition is not properly controlled, it can lead to serious complications such as damage to the blood vessels, heart, kidneys, and even the brain. Therefore, effective management of hypertension is crucial, not only with pharmacological treatment but also through non-pharmacological interventions such as regular exercise. One recommended form of light exercise is brisk walking, which involves brisk walking at moderate intensity. This exercise is known to reduce peripheral resistance when the body's muscles contract, which in turn helps control blood pressure and increase cardiac output. This case study aims to determine the effectiveness of brisk walking therapy on the risk of decreased cardiac output in hypertensive patients. The intervention was carried out on hypertensive patients through home visits three days a week, with one meeting each morning. Patients were given brisk walking therapy with a specific duration and intensity according to their condition. Evaluation was carried out by measuring blood pressure before and after the intervention using a standard observation sheet. After three interventions, there was a significant decrease in blood pressure in patients. This indicates a positive effect of brisk walking on the cardiovascular system of hypertensive patients. Brisk walking is an effective and easy-to-do non-pharmacological therapy to help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of decreased cardiac output in hypertensive patients. It is hoped that this therapy can become part of a self-help intervention carried out continuously in the patient's home environment.

Exposure to food advertising, particularly UPF (Ultra-Processed Food), not only impacts children's short-term food choices but also influences the formation of long-term unhealthy eating habits. Several studies have found that advertising's influence on children is not only direct but is also reinforced by environmental factors such as family eating habits, peer influence, and food accessibility at home and school. For example, children who regularly watch television unsupervised or who have personal devices with internet access are more likely to be exposed to UPF advertising, which is typically designed with bold colors, cartoon characters, and memorable slogans. This makes children more susceptible to influence and develop preferences for the promoted foods. Furthermore, UPF advertising often features emotional messages or positive associations such as fun, friendship, and rewards, further strengthening its appeal to children. When these advertisements are repeatedly exposed, children can internalize these messages and make them part of their eating experience. In the long term, this risks causing children to associate unhealthy foods with comfort or happiness, which can trigger emotional eating and increase the potential for eating disorders and the risk of non-communicable diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to involve various stakeholders, including parents, educators, industry players, and policymakers, in building a healthy eating environment. Media literacy education for children is also a crucial step in equipping them to be more critical of advertising messages. Strict regulations on food marketing aimed at children, such as banning UPF advertising during children's broadcast hours, regulating the use of cartoon characters, and providing clear and easy-to-understand nutrition labeling, are important strategies to reduce the negative impact of UPF advertising on children's health in the long term.

The compensation system is an important element in human resource management, because it plays a direct role in influencing employee motivation, performance, and job satisfaction. In human resource management, the existence of human resources plays a vital role that must be considered by the company, including in terms of compensation. The ideal compensation system is one based on the principles of fairness and appropriateness, which can be directly felt by employees. The assessment of fairness and appropriateness can be seen from several dimensions, namely the internal dimension relating to the suitability of workload and rewards received, the external dimension considering company policies and market standards, and the individual dimension relating to the ability of compensation to meet employee living needs. Based on this, this study focuses on the compensation system implemented at the Double-Tree By Hilton Bintaro Jaya Hotel, specifically for banquet kitchen staff consisting of contract staff and daily workers. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that the compensation system for contract staff has been running optimally. From the internal side, the workload is considered commensurate with the rewards received. Externally, the compensation provided is competitive compared to competing companies. Furthermore, from an individual perspective, employees' living needs are met, even supported by a substantial service charge that exceeds their base salary. However, for daily workers, the compensation system is deemed suboptimal. Although their workload is equivalent to that of contract staff, their compensation is not the same, and they do not receive a service charge. Based on these findings, this study recommends optimizing the compensation system, particularly for daily workers, to ensure fairness and equity across all staff levels, thereby increasing work motivation, loyalty, and overall performance.

Drug abuse among adolescents is a serious problem that requires a comprehensive prevention strategy. One key element in this effort is family education, which plays a frontline role in protecting adolescents from the negative influence of drugs. Through consistent education, supervision, and emotional support, families can build a foundation for positive behavior and mental resilience in adolescents. Effective family education includes open communication between parents and children, teaching moral and religious values, and creating a safe, harmonious, and warm home environment. Healthy communication allows adolescents to feel comfortable discussing problems or pressures they face, thereby minimizing the risk of falling into drug abuse. In addition to the role of the family, psychological approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) have proven effective in strengthening adolescents' resilience to social pressures and the temptation of drugs. CBT focuses on helping individuals recognize and change negative thought patterns and risky behaviors that trigger abuse. With CBT techniques, adolescents can learn stress management skills, improve decision-making skills, and develop healthier, adaptive behaviors. The integration of family education and CBT therapy results in a more holistic prevention approach. Families provide a foundation of morals, values, and emotional support, while CBT strengthens adolescents' psychological abilities to face life's challenges. This synergy can increase resilience, reduce vulnerability to negative influences, and equip adolescents with effective strategies for resisting drugs. By optimizing the role of the family and combining it with psychological interventions, it is hoped that a healthy, productive young generation will emerge, free from the threat of drugs, enabling them to contribute positively to society and the future of the nation.

Negotiation is the most fundamental form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), emphasizing the peaceful settlement of conflicts through direct dialogue between disputing parties without involving a third party. In Indonesia, negotiation has become one of the most widely used ADR mechanisms and has developed across various fields, including civil law, labor relations, administrative disputes, and environmental issues. This study aims to analyze negotiation as an ADR forum from two main perspectives. First, a theoretical review that examines the principles of negotiation, its stages, as well as its advantages and limitations compared to other dispute resolution mechanisms. Second, a practical review that elaborates on the implementation of negotiation within the Indonesian legal context through case studies of disputes resolved through negotiation. The research employs a normative-juridical approach to analyze the legal foundations and principles governing negotiation, combined with an empirical review through case data exploration and interviews with legal practitioners. The findings indicate that negotiation offers several advantages, including efficiency in time and cost, procedural flexibility, and the potential for mutually beneficial solutions (win–win solutions). However, this study also identifies challenges such as unequal bargaining positions between parties, limited legal recognition of negotiation outcomes, and the insufficient capacity of negotiators or informal mediators to fully grasp legal aspects. Based on these findings, the study recommends several strategic steps: enhancing legal recognition and protection for negotiation outcomes, strengthening the capacity and competence of negotiators through legal and communication skills training, and expanding the use of negotiation as an initial step in resolving various types of disputes. With stronger legal frameworks and improved human resources, negotiation has the potential to become a more effective, efficient, and sustainable dispute resolution instrument in Indonesia.

This study aims to improve elementary school students' storytelling skills through the application of the Whole Language approach combined with ebook-based image media. The Whole Language approach was chosen because it emphasizes the integration of natural language skills in meaningful contexts, while the ebook-based image media was used to provide engaging visual stimuli, facilitate comprehension of the story, and motivate students in the learning process. The study was conducted at Pekuncen Elementary School in Pasuruan City, with 18 fifth-grade students as subjects. The method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR), implemented in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, storytelling skills tests, student interviews, and documentation of the learning process. The results showed a significant improvement in students' storytelling skills. Learning completion increased from 44.44% in the pre-cycle to 66.67% in the first cycle, and reached 88.88% in the second cycle. This improvement included aspects of speaking fluency, the use of a more varied vocabulary, coherent story structure, and the ability to convey appropriate expression and intonation. Furthermore, this approach encourages students to participate more actively in learning, increases self-confidence, and fosters courage in expressing opinions in class. These findings indicate that implementing Whole Language with the aid of illustrated ebooks is effective in developing elementary school students' storytelling skills. The combination of communicative learning methods and engaging media can create a fun, interactive, and meaningful learning environment. This study recommends that Indonesian language teachers at the elementary school level consider using a similar approach as an alternative strategy for teaching speaking skills, particularly in the context of storytelling.

Civil servants play a crucial role in governance and development to achieve the national goals as stipulated in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Civil servants (PNS) are the primary foundation for the implementation of the Indonesian government system, as they implement public policy and provide public services. Their integrity, competence, and legal status significantly determine the quality of government bureaucracy. This study aims to determine the role of the Regional Civil Service Agency (BKD) in handling cases involving civil servants using fake diplomas during recruitment or promotion. The approach used is normative juridical, reviewing existing regulations, such as Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning the State Civil Apparatus, Government Regulations, and other technical regulations. Data were also obtained through interviews with BKD officials and analysis of relevant case documentation. The results of the study indicate that in practice, there is still a discrepancy between established legal procedures and their implementation in the field. Several cases indicate that administrative sanctions or termination of civil servants found to have used fake diplomas have not been fully based on proper verification and sanction mechanisms. This raises doubts about the validity of decisions and has the potential to undermine public trust in government institutions. This study emphasizes the importance of enforcing administrative discipline and improving internal oversight systems, as well as the need for stricter and more coordinated regulations between central and regional agencies to ensure that every administrative action has a valid legal basis. Implementing the principles of accountability and transparency in personnel management must be a priority to create a clean and professional bureaucracy.

This study aims to determine the effect of paternal attachment on emotional regulation in late adolescents in Padang City. Paternal attachment is seen as a crucial factor in developing children's emotional regulation skills, particularly during late adolescence, which is the transitional phase toward adulthood. Late adolescence is a crucial period in an individual's psychological development, where the ability to manage and express emotions appropriately determines their mental and social well-being. A strong emotional attachment to a father is believed to provide a foundation of emotional security that helps adolescents regulate their emotional responses to various life pressures and challenges. This study used a quantitative approach with a purposive sampling technique and involved 272 late adolescent respondents in Padang City as a sample. Data were collected through a questionnaire designed to measure the level of paternal attachment and adolescents' emotional regulation skills. Data collection was carried out with attention to the validity and reliability of the instrument so that the research results can be scientifically accounted for. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics to identify the relationship and influence between paternal attachment variables and emotional regulation. The results showed that the level of father attachment in late adolescents was in the moderate category at 53.3%, while their level of emotional regulation was in the high category at 42.3%. These findings indicate that although father attachment did not reach the high category for most, adolescents' emotional regulation abilities were relatively good. Further statistical analysis revealed that there was an influence of father attachment on emotional regulation in late adolescents, but this influence was very weak. This indicates that although father attachment contributes, there are many other factors that play a role in shaping adolescents' emotional regulation abilities, such as attachment to the mother, peer support, education, and individual experiences.

This study aims to determine the relationship between social stigma and psychological well-being in mothers of children with disabilities in Padang City. The background of this study is based on the negative labeling and discrimination often experienced by these mothers, which can affect their mental health and parenting skills in raising children with special needs. The social stigma attached to families with children with disabilities often makes mothers feel protected, experience emotional stress, and decrease self-confidence. This condition has the potential to cause prolonged stress that ultimately has a negative impact on their psychological well-being. This study used a quantitative method with a purposive sampling technique, where 93 respondents mothers of children with disabilities in Padang City were selected as research participants. Data collection was carried out using an instrument in the form of a Likert scale that has been tested for validity and reliability. This scale measures two main variables: the level of social stigma experienced by mothers and the level of psychological well-being, which includes aspects such as happiness, life satisfaction, and overall mental health. The results showed that 30.1% of these mothers reported a high level of psychological well-being, while 34.4% reported a low level of social stigma. These findings indicate relatively good psychological well-being, although some mothers still experience social stigma. Statistical analysis using correlation revealed a significant negative relationship between social stigma and psychological well-being. This means that the lower the level of social stigma experienced by mothers, the higher their level of psychological well-being. These findings confirm that reducing social stigma and discrimination against mothers with children with disabilities is crucial for improving their quality of life.
