The purpose of this study was to determine the Role of the Election Supervisory Body in the Simultaneous Regional Head Elections in Tasikmalaya Regency in 2024. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive research method. This method includes observation, interviews and documentation. Data processing techniques in this study are data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the role of the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) has not been running optimally as seen from four dimensions. First, in the dimension of the role as an entrepreneur, Bawaslu experienced obstacles in understanding organizational issues and building relationships with the KPU, which was caused by miscommunication and weak supervision which led to a Revote. Second, in the dimension of the role as a disturbance handler, Bawaslu has not been effective in dealing with unexpected problems, hampered by the pros and cons of the community and the lack of formal and material evidence to follow up on reports of alleged violations. Third, in the dimension of the role as a resource allocator, the use of funding sources has not been optimal because the Revote resulted in the use of previous funds being inefficient. Finally, in terms of its role as a negotiator, Bawaslu has not been effective when participating in negotiations because it often takes a long time. The efforts that must be made are to strengthen communication and coordination between Bawaslu and the KPU, increase transparency and supervision during the election process, improve the system for collecting evidence of alleged violations and accelerate the negotiation process so that the decision-making process runs more efficiently. Based on the results of the study above, it can be concluded that the Role of the Election Supervisory Body in the Simultaneous Regional Head Elections in Tasikmalaya Regency in 2024, overall, is still not running optimally.

Assessment of early childhood social-emotional development plays a crucial role in preparing children for the next stage of education. However, many early childhood institutions still rely on simple and unsystematic assessment methods. This study aims to implement a rating scale as an assessment tool for the social-emotional development of children aged 5–6 years in the context of a transportation-themed play activity. A descriptive quantitative approach was used, involving 9 children assessed with a validated observation instrument. The results indicate that most children exhibited very good social-emotional development. For the indicator of willingness to join group play, 6 children were in the Very Well Developed (BSB) category. For the ability to play cooperatively, 7 children were rated BSB. Regarding the expression of joy when sharing experiences, 6 children were also categorized as BSB. The rating scale proved effective in systematically and objectively documenting children's social-emotional behaviors and served as a foundation for designing follow-up learning strategies. This study recommends integrating social-emotional assessments into daily practice and fostering collaboration between teachers and parents to optimize children's development.

Consumption of sweetened beverages contributes to increased blood glucose levels that lead to the risk of pre-diabetes and type II diabetes mellitus. Fasting blood sugar examination is an early screening tool to detect hidden metabolic disorders and educate the public about the importance of controlling sugar consumption. The examination was conducted through capillary blood sampling and point-of-care testing (POCT) analysis of 91 adult participants. Education was delivered in the form of a leaflet emphasizing the impact of sweetened beverage consumption on glucose regulation and the risk of insulin resistance. The results were classified into three categories: normal, pre-diabetes, and diabetes. The majority of participants (86.8%) were in the normoglycemic category. As many as 9.9% were classified as pre-diabetes and 3.3% were in the diabetes category. The average fasting blood sugar of the participants was 89.5 ± 20.1 mg/dL. These results emphasize the need for counseling regarding limiting the consumption of sweetened beverages to maintain stable blood glucose. Fasting blood sugar examination accompanied by education about sweetened beverages contributes to early detection of the risk of glucose disorders. Interventions based on examination results have the potential to increase awareness of fluid consumption patterns and encourage healthier lifestyle changes.   Keywords: Fasting Blood Sugar, Sugary Drinks, Pre-Diabetes, Type II Diabetes Mellitus, Nutrition Education

The purpose of this study is to examine the structure of economic performance and identify superior clusters in districts/cities in order to develop a basis for formulating effective regional development strategies. The methodology used is quantitative with a descriptive approach that includes analysis of location quotient (LQ), shift share and class typology. Secondary data comes from official institutions such as the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The results of the study indicate that Sidoarjo has an advantage in the manufacturing sector (LQ 1.85) and is included in the category of advanced and rapidly developing regions. Lamongan stands out in the agricultural and fisheries sectors with significant growth, although its contribution to GDP is low, it is classified as a rapidly developing region. Gresik has a large and solid commercial sector, but its growth is still lagging behind the national average. Pasuruan is included in the lagging category because its education services sector has not become the mainstay of the economy. The cluster approach has proven successful in identifying regional potential and formulating data-based development policies. Cross-sector collaboration and responsive and supportive government policies are key factors in developing superior clusters that can accelerate regional economic growth in an inclusive and sustainable manner.

This research examines the governance of the National Amil Zakat Agency of Barito Kuala Regency as an effort to optimize transparent, professional, and sharia-compliant zakat management. Although South Kalimantan has the highest zakat potential in Kalimantan Island, its zakat realization is still far from the target, reflecting the challenges of public trust and the effectiveness of the institution's governance. This study aims to evaluate the governance of Barito Kuala National Amil Zakat Agency using three main indicators: Zakat Core Principles Index, Sharia Compliance Index of Zakat Management Organization, and Financial Ratio Analysis. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, data was collected through observation and internal document analysis. The result shows that the implementation of Zakat Core Principle scores 0.44 (good enough category), while sharia compliance scores 0.72 (good category), and financial ratio shows high efficiency and effectiveness in collecting and distributing zakat. Important findings reveal that the suboptimal documentation of Operational Procedur Standard, absence of internal audit, and high operational burden become obstacles to ideal governance. Although the management of zakat in Barito Kuala National Amil Zakat Agency has been running according to regulations and sharia principles, improvement of institutional structure, documentation, efficiency of human resources, and transparency of financial statements are needed. This research provides a practical contribution as an internal evaluation of the institution and a scientific contribution in the development of accountable and sustainable zakat management in Indonesia.
