Hospitals often face difficulties in determining patient treatment priorities due to limited medical resources and the uncertainty of patient conditions. Conventional prioritization methods tend to rely on subjective judgment, which can lead to inconsistent decisions and delays in treatment. This study aims to apply fuzzy logic in a decision support system to determine patient priority levels more objectively and systematically. The proposed method utilizes a fuzzy inference system that processes several criteria, including the severity of symptoms, vital signs, patient age, and waiting time. These criteria are represented as fuzzy sets and evaluated using a set of inference rules to generate priority classifications. The results indicate that the fuzzy logic–based system is able to classify patient priorities more consistently and transparently compared to manual assessment. The system provides clear priority categories that can support medical staff in making faster and more accurate decisions. The findings imply that the implementation of fuzzy logic in hospital decision support systems can improve the quality of healthcare services, enhance fairness in patient handling, and optimize the allocation of medical resources, particularly in emergency and high-demand situations.

This study examines the negotiation of self-loss through the denial defence mechanism in Rosé’s album Rosie (2024) using a Freudian psychoanalytic approach. Popular music is positioned as a cultural text that articulates psychological conflict and emotional vulnerability, particularly within toxic romantic relationships. Employing qualitative textual analysis and close reading, this research focuses on three selected songs namely Number One Girl, Toxic Till the End, and Stay a Little Longer to explore how denial operates as an ego defence in managing emotional pain and relational trauma. The findings reveal that denial functions through three interrelated forms: affective denial, cognitive denial, and symbolic denial. Rather than serving merely as a temporary protective mechanism, denial operates continuously to sustain emotional attachment, delay confrontation with loss, and gradually erode the subject’s autonomy and identity. This process results in a negotiated form of self-loss, in which the subject remains psychologically functional while experiencing progressive fragmentation of the self. By reading the album as a coherent psychological narrative rather than isolated songs, this study contributes a novel conceptual framework for understanding the dynamics of self-loss and denial in popular music, while extending psychoanalytic approaches to the analysis of contemporary female musical texts and affective trauma.

The rapid growth of Sharia-based e-commerce reflects the increasing demand among Muslim consumers for transactions that comply with Islamic principles. However, digital transaction practices still raise various concerns, particularly regarding the clarity of contracts (akad), payment security, and information transparency. This study aims to explain Muslim consumers’ perceptions of the application of the legal maxim al-yaqīn lā yazūlu bi al-shakk in Sharia e-commerce transactions, with a focus on students of the State Islamic University of North Sumatra. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using in-depth interviews with 10 informants as the primary data source, supported by questionnaire data to identify general tendencies in respondents’ perceptions. The findings reveal that although most respondents understand the maxim theoretically, they have not been able to apply it effectively in digital transaction contexts. The uncertainties experienced by respondents are predominantly triggered by technical factors, such as delays in payment confirmation, rather than shakk in the fiqh sense. Moreover, limited understanding of digital contract mechanisms contributes to uncertainty regarding the moment when a contract is considered legally valid. Information transparency emerges as a key factor in fostering yaqīn, particularly in relation to the clarity of product descriptions and transaction procedures. This study concludes that the application of al-yaqīn lā yazūlu bi al-shakk in Sharia e-commerce remains suboptimal due to limited digital fiqh literacy and insufficient technological reliability, highlighting the need for enhanced digital muamalah education and improved information quality on Sharia e-commerce platform.

Public service quality plays a crucial role in ensuring that social assistance is delivered effectively to vulnerable communities. This study aims to analyze the quality of public services in the distribution of social assistance by the Social Service Office of Kerinci Regency and to identify improvement efforts undertaken by the institution. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. Informants consisted of Social Service officials, social facilitators, and beneficiary communities. Service quality analysis was conducted using the SERVQUAL dimensions: tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The findings indicate that the social assistance distribution service in Kerinci Regency is generally adequate, particularly in the assurance and empathy dimensions. Beneficiaries feel that services are delivered fairly, transparently, and without discrimination. However, obstacles remain in the tangible, reliability, and responsiveness aspects, including limited service facilities, inaccurate beneficiary data due to incomplete DTKS updates, and delays in assistance distribution in remote areas caused by geographical constraints. To address these challenges, the Social Service Office has implemented periodic data validation, strengthened coordination with village administrations, and optimized digital-based social service information systems. This study provides empirical evidence that can serve as an evaluation reference for local governments in improving transparent, effective, and equitable social assistance services.

Labor productivity is a critical factor in construction project success as it directly affects time, cost, and work quality. In the Palm Vista Residence housing development project, delays in ground floor structural works indicate suboptimal human resource performance. This study aims to analyze labor productivity levels, identify factors influencing productivity, and formulate strategies to improve productivity in sloof beams, columns, and floor slab works. The research employs a quantitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods through field observations, questionnaires, and interviews. Labor productivity is measured using the work sampling method and the Labour Utilization Rate (LUR), while influencing factors are analyzed using multiple linear regression. Strategy prioritization for productivity improvement is determined using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results show that labor productivity is at a moderate level and is significantly influenced by work experience, managerial aspects, and coordination and planning. The priority strategies include improving worker competence and strengthening project management practices. These findings are expected to provide practical guidance for construction labor management to enhance efficiency and ensure timely project completion.

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women, largely due to delayed diagnosis. Early detection through Clinical Breast Examination (CBE/SADANIS) is an important strategy to identify breast cancer at an early stage. However, the level of knowledge and awareness of Women of Reproductive Age regarding SADANIS remains low. This Community Service activity aimed to improve knowledge and awareness of SADANIS among Women of Reproductive Age through health education at PMB Rama Agustina. The activity was conducted through preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. Health education was delivered using interactive lectures and discussions, supported by educational media such as leaflets and posters. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test questionnaires to assess changes in participants’ knowledge. The results showed an improvement in participants’ knowledge and a positive change in attitudes toward the importance of early breast cancer detection. In addition, participants demonstrated increased interest and willingness to undergo SADANIS examinations, either at the midwifery practice or at nearby primary healthcare centers. In conclusion, this activity was effective as a promotive and preventive effort to support early detection of breast cancer among women of reproductive age.

Early childhood growth and development detection is an important process to identify potential physical, cognitive, emotional, and social developmental disorders in children before the age of six, which can help prevent long-term health and educational problems. Developmental screening is an initial assessment activity conducted to determine a child’s level of development according to their age. This screening aims to detect early whether a child’s development is within normal limits or if there is a possibility of developmental delay. This study aims to examine the developmental screening of children aged 5–6 years at RA Bunayya II. The research method used is qualitative research. Data were collected through observation and interviews. The results of the study indicate that all children are in the category of Developing as Expected. This is shown by the predominance of “Yes” responses on the indicators of the Pre-Developmental Screening Questionnaire (KPSP), which include aspects of speech and language, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, as well as social-emotional development and independence.

PT. XYZ faces administrative challenges in implementing the Contractor Safety Management System (CSMS), which has been managed manually from risk assessment and pre-qualification to contractor selection resulting in validation delays, document duplication, and limited monitoring. This study aims to: (1) identify the constraints of the manual CSMS at PT. XYZ; (2) design an electronic-CSMS (e-CSMS) application tailored to internal user needs; (3) analyze the contribution of e-CSMS to document management effectiveness; and (4) evaluate the design's alignment with the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SMK3) principles as per Government Regulation No. 50 of 2012. The method employed is Research and Development (preliminary stage) using a descriptive qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and document studies. The design results include: (i) a unified digital form integrating procurement data input, risk assessment entries (severity and probability), and document upload and assessment for pre-qualification/selection in a single workflow; (ii) a monitoring dashboard with filtering and export functions; and (iii) internal access settings within PT. XYZ's HSSE portal. Functionally, this design addresses the main bottlenecks of the manual process by creating a more concise, structured, and documented verification workflow, thereby making document management more efficient and traceable. In terms of compliance, e-CSMS supports the implementation of SMK3 elements in the administrative domain of policy establishment, planning, and execution of OHS plans through consistent recording and verification mechanisms. Development recommendations include expansion to field implementation phases, automation of risk-level calculations, and an option for preliminary data entry by contractors with final verification remaining with the internal team.

This study examines the legal protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) following the revocation of the moratorium on deployment to Saudi Arabia. Using a normative juridical approach with a descriptive-analytical specification, the research explores the effectiveness of Law Number 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers, the impact of the moratorium revocation on the rights and security of PMI, and the implementation of bilateral cooperation through the Indonesia–Saudi Arabia Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The findings reveal that although the existing legal framework is comprehensive, its implementation remains weak, particularly regarding supervision and law enforcement in destination countries. The study identifies a gap between administrative regulations and substantive protection, as reflected in the persistent cases of violence, delayed wages, and exploitation in the domestic sector. Strengthening the effectiveness of PMI protection requires synergy between legal reform, digital-based monitoring systems, and human rights–based diplomacy. Therefore, Indonesia must reinforce its political commitment, institutional coordination, and bilateral mechanisms to ensure the fulfillment of migrant workers’ fundamental rights and dignity abroad.

Punctuality is a crucial factor in ship repair projects because it directly affects operational efficiency, project costs, and the utilization rate of shipyard facilities. Delays in work completion can lead to increased costs, disruption of ship operational schedules, and decreased shipyard productivity. Therefore, this study aims to analyze and optimize the repair scheduling of Ship X at PT XYZ using the Critical Path Method (CPM). The research data were obtained from the actual project schedule compiled using Microsoft Project software, including the duration of each activity and the dependency relationships between tasks. The analysis results show that the project has one main critical path with a total duration of 74 hours. Most activities are on the critical path with a float value of 0 hours, while the Non-Destructive Test Penetrant Testing activity has a time slack of 1 hour. The application of the CPM method has proven effective in identifying critical activities, improving schedule control, and supporting managerial decision-making in optimizing ship repair projects.  

Umbilical cord infection is one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality in Indonesia. Appropriate umbilical cord care is essential to accelerate separation and prevent infection. In the working area of UPT Puskesmas Alai, variations in cord care practices and delayed separation cases were still found. This study aimed to analyze the effect of umbilical cord care using sterile gauze method on cord separation duration at UPT Puskesmas Alai. The study employed quasi-experimental design with one-group pre-test post-test approach on 32 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Pretest data were obtained from medical records, while posttest data through direct observation. Analysis used Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test (α=0.05). Results showed mean cord separation time in pretest group was 9.2 days (SD=1.08) and posttest group 6.0 days (SD=0.84). Wilcoxon test showed Z=-4.94 with p-value=0.000, indicating significant difference. Umbilical cord care using sterile gauze method effectively accelerates separation time compared to conventional methods. Healthcare workers are recommended to implement this method as standard care.

Loss and grief are psychological experiences that significantly affect an individual’s mental state. This process involves various emotional, cognitive, and behavioral changes that can affect a person’s well-being in the long term. This study aims to describe the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral affects that arise in individuals after experiencing loss, as well as the factors that strengthen or weaken their responses to the grieving process. The method used in this study is qualitative, with a literature review approach from various relevant clinical psychology and mental health studies. The results indicate that individuals who experience loss are vulnerable to increased emotional stress, anxiety, depression, and significant declines in social functioning. Furthermore, this article highlights that the quality of social support received, the way individuals make meaning of the loss, and the coping mechanisms they choose play a crucial role in determining the level of grief response. These factors can either accelerate or delay the healing process. An unresolved grieving process or one that is handled in an unhealthy manner can develop into more serious psychological disorders, such as Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD). PGD is a condition characterized by difficulty in accepting the loss, which can persist for months or even years. This article emphasizes that loss is not merely an emotional disturbance but also a complex psychological process. This process requires a deep understanding, strong social support, and appropriate interventions to maintain an individual’s mental health and help them recover more effectively.
