The process of forming dynamic capabilities at the Surabaya Special Class I Immigration Office begins with the leadership role of the head of the immigration office who regularly holds meetings with employees. This encourages employees to create various innovations in service, which is a manifestation of the thinking ahead mindset. Service performance evaluation activities that are carried out regularly bring changes in service policies, as an implementation of the thinking again mindset. In addition, an open attitude to learn service practices from other parties through comparative studies with other immigration offices is also part of the application of a thinking attitude mindset.

This study aims to describe and analyze: the role of PAD and DAU as a source of revenue in APBD financing in East Java Province and how the East Java Provincial Regional Government efforts to increase PAD through Regional Original Tax. The data analysis technique uses the technique developed by McNabb (2002), namely Grouping the data according to key constructs, Identifying bases for interpretation, Developing generalizations from the data, Testing Alternative interpretations and Forming and/or refining generalizable theory from case study. The results of the study show that the Role of Regional Original Revenue in the Regional Budget in the East Java Provincial Government is very high. The dependence of the East Java Provincial Government on the Central Government is relatively low. This is evidenced by the magnitude of the PAD value to the APBD around 72%. DAU's contribution to the APBD is quite high, in 2024 it will reach 82%. This indicates that the local government of the East Java Provincial Government uses DAU more than PAD for Regional Expenditure. This means that there is fiscal dependence on the central government and provincial governments. In general, the policy of increasing Regional Original Revenue from the Tax sector carried out by the East Java Provincial Government includes Synergy between the Provincial Government and Regency/City Government, Innovation in tax payment services, Re-data collection of taxpayers, Cooperation with the private sector and NGOs, Improvement of tax management management. The East Java Provincial Government together with the Regional Governments of Regencies/Cities throughout East Java collaborate in the synergy of regional tax collection and regional tax options. The goal is to create effective regional financial management by prioritizing synergy in optimizing the increase in Regional Original Revenue (PAD: Pendapatan Asli Daerah) to encourage fiscal independence in the regions.

Mental disorder is a condition where a person considers himself/herself to be isolated from his/her surroundings, fails in his/her business, cannot control his/her emotions, and makes a person feel threatened, disturbed, or uncomfortable so that he/she changes his/her behavior, one of which is marked by sensory perception disorders of hallucinations. This case study aims to determine the effect of hallucination management with the implementation of reading the Qur'an on patients with unspecified schizophrenia in the Srikandi ward of Dr. Arif Zainuddin Mental Hospital, Surakarta City.: The design of this scientific paper uses a case study design. The subjects used were 5 (five) subjects. Data analysis was carried out by looking at changes before and after being given Qur'an reading therapy. The results of the application showed that after the implementation of Qur'an reading therapy, there was a decrease in signs of hallucination symptoms.  Qur'an reading therapy can help reduce signs of symptoms and manage hallucinations in patients with unspecified schizophrenia.  It is expected that nurses can provide psychiatric nursing care to hallucinatory patients by implementing the activity of reading the Qur'an consistently or repeatedly while undergoing treatment in the hospital and when returning home.

A hernia is a protrusion of the abdominal wall into another body cavity (hip or pelvis, chest or thorax). One of the procedures performed in cases of hernia is surgery called herniorrhaphy. Surgery is an invasive treatment procedure through incisions to open the part of the body that will be treated surgically, which will cause pain. The pain felt after surgery is acute pain. Acute pain can complicate the healing process which can hinder the patient's ability to mobilize, rehabilitate and be hospitalized. One of the non-pharmacological therapies used to reduce pain is finger-hold relaxation therapy. Finger grip relaxation is a simple technique that combines breathing and holding a hand on each finger which can help control emotions and stress. It is hoped that this method can stimulate the brain to produce positive hormones and reduce cortisol secretion so that pain is reduced. Finger grip therapy intervention can help patients reduce the scale of pain felt after surgery. The case study used a descriptive method with a nursing process approach which was carried out on 3 respondents aged 67 - 76 using a One Group Pretest Posttest research design which was measured using the NRS instrument for 3 days. The results showed that there was a decrease in the pain scale in respondents after being given finger grip relaxation therapy.

Bronchopneumonia is a type of pneumonia that affects the bronchi and alveoli, usually starting in the terminal bronchioles. The terminal bronchioles become blocked with mucopurulent exudate forming patches of consolidation in adjacent lobules. 95% of pneumonia cases in children occur in developing countries. According to WHO estimates, the infant mortality rate due to pneumonia in developing countries is 40 out of 1000 live births or around 15-20% per year. A 5-year-old boy was brought to the Emergency Room of Cut Meutia Hospital with complaints of shortness of breath since 3 days before admission accompanied by a cough with phlegm and fever. The results of a physical examination of the thorax found nasal flaring breathing, chest wall retraction, and rhonchi (+/+). Based on laboratory tests, there was an increase in leukocytes, then a chest X-ray showed an impression of infiltration in the perihilar and paracardial. Based on history, physical examination, and supporting examinations, the patient was diagnosed with Bronchopneumonia. Non-medical management is done through bed rest, balanced nutrition, and adequate fluid balance. Then the patient's medical management is in the form of Cefotaxime injection 500 mg/12 hours, symptomatic management and supportive management for the bronchopneumonia..

The implementation of Financial Accounting Standards Statement (PSAK) 116, which replaces PSAK 30, aims to enhance financial statement transparency by eliminating off-balance sheet transactions. This study reviews the literature on the impact of PSAK 116 on earnings management practices. The literature review findings reveal differing results across studies; some indicate that PSAK 116 improves transparency and reduces earnings management, while others suggest that PSAK 116 instead encourages earnings management to maintain certain financial ratios. Factors such as firm size, industry sector, regulatory environment, and corporate governance influence how PSAK 116 affects managerial behavior. The implications of this study highlight the importance of oversight and additional regulations to minimize the likelihood of financial statement manipulation, as well as the need for further research to understand the impact of PSAK 116 across various industry contexts and business environments.

Hypertension, which is common in the elderly, is a condition when blood pressure increases abnormally when measured in the systolic and diastolic phases. Blood pressure that exceeds 140/90 mmHg (systolic/diastolic) may indicate the presence of a health condition in the individual. comparison of the effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation therapy and slow deep breathing on blood pressure of hypertensive clients at Perdha Pucang Gading Semarang is the main objective of this study. This study used a quantitative quasy-experiment method with a two group pretest and posttest group design, with 48 respondents selected through nonprobability sampling techniques. To ensure the normality assumption was met, the data was tested using the Shapiro-wilk test. Furthermore, statistical analysis was carried out with two types, namely paired t-test and independent t-test, to compare differences between data groups. The results showed that the elderly aged 60-75 years in the Panti experienced mild hypertension. Statistical analysis concluded that progressive muscle relaxation therapy and slow deep breathing were effective in reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly (p<0.05). However, no substantial variation was found in the effectiveness between the two therapies in reducing systolic blood pressure (p 0.066>0.05).

Skills and abilities are needed by students in carrying out MBKM internship activities in various institutions. This is necessary so that students can perform at their best during their internships at various institutions. In addition to the need for internships, the skills acquired by students can be implemented in the workforce once they graduate from their bachelor's degree. This service aims to realize the golden generation in 2045 and the fourth astacita, which is to strengthen human resource development. There are 3 main activities provided during this training, namely: three service activities that include strengthening work ethics, cultural and work ethos training, and enhancing digitalization skills. These three main activities are the core activities that must be attended by intern students as an initial step to optimize their skills and abilities. Based on the results obtained, such optimization programs are very helpful for students as an initial step in preparing for internships at institutions. In addition, students have knowledge of how to quickly adapt in their institutions. This is very relevant and needs to be continuously developed to ensure that students are optimally prepared to face an increasingly competitive in world of work.

Cardiac Troponin1 (cTn1) is a protein released into the bloodstream following cardiac damage and Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) is a hormone released by the heart in response to ventricular stretch and pressure overload. This study aims to investigate the predictive role of cTn1 and BNP in preeclamptic pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy. Forty (40) consenting pregnant women were recruited from St. Philomina Catholic Hospital, Edo State, Nigeria. Blood samples was 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 and was analyzed for Cardiac Troponin 1(cTn1) and Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) by fluorescence immunoassay. Data obtained from this study were analysed using Graph Pad Prism 9. Results generated were expressed as mean ± SEM and a P-value of ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant.  The present study showed that there was statistically significant increase in Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) in preeclamptic women compared to normotensive pregnant women, indicating various underlying pathophysiological processes. These findings suggest the potential predictive roles of this cardiac marker in identifying and monitoring preeclampsia.

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, mass media widely disseminate information about presidential and vice-presidential candidates. The registration period, from October 19 to 25, 2023, became a major political event that attracted extensive media attention. Ideally, media outlets should report political events independently, without external influence. However, Sindonews.com shows signs of organizational influence in its coverage of the candidate registration process. This study examines the factors shaping news coverage using the Media Content Hierarchy Theory by Shoemaker & Reese (1996), which identifies five levels of influence: individual, media routines, organizational, extramedia, and ideological. Through a qualitative case study method, employing in-depth interviews, documentation, and observation, the findings reveal that organizational influence is the dominant factor affecting Sindonews.com's reporting. This is largely due to its affiliation with Harry Tanoesoedibjo, who owns Sindonews.com and leads Partai Perindo, a party that supported Ganjar Pranowo and Mahfud MD in the 2024 election. Consequently, the media coverage reflected this political alignment, underscoring how ownership and political affiliations impact journalistic objectivity in Indonesia’s digital news landscape.
