This study aims to analyze the implementation of public policies in improving community welfare through the Direct Cash Assistance (BLT) Program, the Subsidized Direct Cash Assistance (BLTS), and rice distribution managed by the State Logistics Agency (BULOG) in Cipete Village. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews with policy implementers and beneficiary communities, direct observation of the aid distribution process, and review of relevant official documents and data. The results show that the BLT and BLTS programs play a significant role in helping low-income communities meet their basic needs and increasing household purchasing power, especially during unstable economic conditions. Meanwhile, rice distribution by BULOG supports community food security by providing access to staple foods at prices lower than market rates. Despite the positive impacts, the implementation of these three programs still faces various obstacles, including inaccurate beneficiary targeting due to imprecise and rarely updated data, delays in the distribution process, lack of information transparency, and suboptimal inter-agency coordination. Based on these findings, improvements are required, such as developing an integrated and technology-based data system, increasing information disclosure to the public, strengthening monitoring and periodic evaluation systems, and enhancing cooperation among related institutions. Optimizing the implementation of these social assistance programs is expected to create sustainable, equitable, and targeted improvements in community welfare.

Machines, Materials and Manpower are the three main elements in production, if one of them is lacking it will affect productivity at work, so that the production output results will also be affected by the lack of these three elements. The workforce in a company must be considered in terms of welfare at work so that there is no spike in employee turnover rates. Turnover is the process of leaving a company's workforce due to several factors. Employee turnover greatly affects productivity at work, if the workforce in a company is lacking, then the production output figure will also decrease, this greatly affects the company's income later and will reduce consumer confidence. In this study, it focuses on the intensity of employee turnover at PT. XYZ located in Brebes, there are several factors causing employee turnover, including low income, the presence of many factories close to where employees live. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques in the form of direct interviews with employees at PT. XYZ.

This study aims to analyze the influence of parenting styles on the development of social skills in early adolescence. The method used was a literature review. Researchers reviewed and synthesized the results of relevant previous studies, sourced from scientific journals and credible digital databases. The analysis results show a consistent relationship between the type of parenting style and the quality of social skills. Democratic parenting has been shown to make a significant positive contribution to communication skills, empathy, cooperation, emotional control, and adjustment in social environments. Adolescents raised with this parenting style tend to have better self-confidence and are able to build healthy social interactions at school and in the community. Conversely, authoritarian and permissive parenting styles tend to have less beneficial impacts. This is characterized by the emergence of social anxiety, low initiative, difficulty adhering to social norms, and limitations in establishing interpersonal relationships. These findings emphasize the crucial role of parents in shaping the social competence of early adolescents. The study concludes that implementing a balanced, consistent, and communicative parenting style is a key factor in supporting the development of social skills. Collaboration between the family and the educational environment needs to be strengthened.

This study aims to analyze student time management and its relationship to academic productivity among students in the Economics Education Study Program, Jambi University, class of 2023. This study used a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews with a number of students selected purposively. The results showed that most students were unable to manage their time optimally, as reflected in the habit of procrastinating on assignments, a lack of structured planning, and an imbalance between academic and non-academic activities. Many students tended to work on assignments only close to the deadline and found it difficult to maintain a consistent schedule. Conversely, students who had a more structured time plan, such as compiling daily to-do lists and setting priorities, demonstrated better academic productivity. They were able to complete assignments on time, produce better quality work, and were more active in the learning process and class discussions. This study confirms that effective time management plays a crucial role in improving student academic productivity, both in terms of the quality of work results and the timeliness of assignment completion. Therefore, more intensive efforts are needed to increase students' awareness and skills in time management, so they can achieve optimal learning outcomes, reduce stress levels, and face academic demands more efficiently. In this context, developing good time management strategies is essential to help students maximize their academic potential.

This study aims to analyze the contribution and effectiveness of Local Tax and Local Retribution revenues to the Regional Original Revenue (PAD) of Bantul Regency during the 2021–2024 period. This research employs a quantitative descriptive approach using secondary data obtained from the Budget Realization Report (LRA) of Bantul Regency. The data analysis techniques used include contribution ratio analysis and effectiveness analysis by comparing realization with predetermined targets. The results show that the contribution of Local Taxes to the PAD of Bantul Regency during the 2021–2024 period is classified as good, with an average of 45.12%. Meanwhile, the contribution of Local Retribution to PAD is categorized as very low, with an average of 6.37%. In terms of effectiveness, Local Tax revenue is considered very effective with an average effectiveness rate of 109.18%, while Local Retribution revenue is categorized as quite effective with an average effectiveness of 92.42%. Based on these results, it can be concluded that Local Taxes are the most dominant and reliable source of PAD in Bantul Regency, while Local Retribution, although quite effective in achieving its targets, still requires optimization. Therefore, efforts are needed to optimize the collection of local retributions through the expansion of retribution objects, the review of more realistic targets, and the improvement of regional revenue management quality.

Parking tax collection as part of Specific Goods and Services Tax (PBJT) is an important source for increasing Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD). This policy is based on Law Number 1 of 2022 concerning Financial Relations between the Central Government and Regional Governments and is implemented through Regional Regulation of Bandar Lampung City Number 1 of 2024. This study aims to examine the implementation of parking tax collection as PBJT as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors in its execution. The research employs normative juridical and empirical juridical approaches with a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through documentation studies and interviews with the Regional Revenue Management Agency (BPPRD) of Bandar Lampung City as the implementing institution. The results show that the implementation of PBJT on parking services in Bandar Lampung City uses a self-assessment system, where parking operators calculate, collect, report, and remit taxes independently through e-SPTPD and SIMANTAP managed by BPPRD. Supporting factors include clear regulations, the utilization of information technology, growth in the parking sector, and inter-agency support. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include suboptimal taxpayer compliance, limited human resources within BPPRD, technical issues in the reporting system, and fluctuations in revenue due to seasonal factors. Overall, the implementation of PBJT on parking services has been effective but still requires improved supervision to optimize regional tax revenue.

This study aims to analyze the dynamics of development management in Tulang Bawang Regency, particularly in integrating policy, fiscal capacity, and public participation during the transition to the 2025–2029 Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD). The study employed a descriptive qualitative method using data triangulation techniques derived from regional planning documents, financial statistical reports, and sectoral program evaluation results. The findings reveal that Tulang Bawang Regency has achieved significant progress in regional transformation and succeeded in reducing stunting rates through the Bergerak Melayani Warga (BMW) program. However, these achievements have not been supported by strong fiscal independence, while public participation remains largely dominated by a technocratic approach. The study highlights the urgent need for reforms in digitalization-based regional revenue management and stronger substantive community involvement to ensure that future regional development becomes more independent, participatory, sustainable, and inclusive in accordance with local community aspirations. These reforms are expected to strengthen governance effectiveness and improve equitable development outcomes across all regional sectors.

Background: Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability, especially in the elderly population. The impact of stroke is not only limited to physical activity, but also greatly affects the psychosocial condition of the sufferer. From a psychological aspect, stroke sufferers often experience various complex emotional disorders. Research tends to be deep sadness, anger, disappointment, and feelings of helplessness. One of the significant psychosocial problems experienced by stroke survivors is a decrease in low self-esteem. Methods: The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach. The data source in this study came from informants. This research was conducted at Royal Prima Hospital, Jambi City. Results: Based on the results of the research that has been conducted, it was found that stroke patients experience various psychological changes due to physical limitations that arise after having a stroke. Family support is the most influential factor in the psychological condition of stroke patients.  Families who always accompany patients are able to help patients accept sick conditions and increase patient morale during the rehabilitation process. However, the results of the study show that psychological support from nurses is still not fully optimal. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, stroke patients experience psychological changes such as feeling embarrassed, insecure, feeling a burden on the family, withdrawing from the social environment, and losing their zest for life due to physical limitations. This condition shows that the stroke has an impact not only on the physical, but also on the psychological of the patient. Family support in the form of attention, motivation, affection, mentoring, and medical assistance is very helpful in increasing the patient's enthusiasm and confidence during rehabilitation. Nurses also play a role in the recovery process through health education, motivation, and treatment assistance. However, emotional support and therapeutic communication from nurses are still not optimal because services are more focused on medical measures.

The ICU is one of the largest clinical cost centers in hospitals due to its high demand for human resources, medical equipment, and operational costs. This situation emphasizes that intensive care unit efficiency is a multidimensional issue that cannot be assessed solely from a single aspect. This study aims to analyze the efficiency of the intensive care unit at Ciremai Hospital, Cirebon City, using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model to determine resource optimization. Analytical quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study consisted of personnel in the ICU of Ciremai Hospital from 2023 to 2025, with total sampling applied. The input variables included the number of physicians, nurses, beds, monitors, and ventilators, while the output variables consisted of BOR, LOS, and recovered patients. The ICU input variables remained stable during the study period, while output variables fluctuated with a declining trend in BOR and LOS. The results of the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) indicated that all study periods achieved an efficiency score of 1.00 (efficient), with a slack value of 0.00 across all input variables.

The fisheries sector plays an important role in Indonesia’s economy due to its abundant marine resources; however, unsustainable fishing activities have caused damage to marine ecosystems and a decline in biodiversity. To support sustainable fisheries management, the use of environmentally friendly fishing gear is essential. At the Tenau Coastal Fishing Port (PPP Tenau) in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, handline fishing is the most commonly used traditional fishing method among small-scale fishers because it is selective and causes minimal habitat disturbance. This study aims to analyze the environmental friendliness level of handline fishing gear based on the nine criteria of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) established by FAO in 1995, which include gear selectivity, habitat impact, fisher safety, catch quality, product safety, by- catch, biodiversity impact, capture of protected species, and social acceptance. The research was conducted from November 2025 to January 2026 using a descriptive quantitative method involving 30 handline fishermen selected from a population of 420 using the Slovin formula with a 20% error rate. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using a weighting system based on the guidelines of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (2006). The results are expected to show that handline fishing is categorized as environmentally friendly to highly environmentally friendly and can serve as a basis for developing sustainable fisheries management policies in East Nusa Tenggara.

. A website is a crucial digital promotion medium for companies to convey information and attract potential customers. However, many websites experience low user interaction despite having high visitor traffic. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of A/B Testing implementation in improving the performance of the PT Pamor Putra Mandiri website. A quantitative experimental approach was used, applying A/B Testing to two page variations: Variation 1 (Rafting & Outdoor Activity theme) and Variation 2 (Camping & Accommodation theme). The evaluation focused on three main performance metrics: Click, Page Visit, and Engagement. The results show that Variation 1 consistently outperformed Variation 2 across all metrics. Statistical testing using a two-proportion z-test confirmed that these differences were statistically significant (p-value < 0.05). Therefore, A/B Testing proves to be an effective method in identifying superior content strategies and page structures, as well as a relevant tool for data-driven decision-making in corporate website development.

 Cryptocurrency price prediction, particularly for highly volatile assets like Solana (SOL), is a crucial challenge in time series data analysis in digital finance. This study aims to compare the performance of the XGBoost machine learning algorithm with the Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT) deep learning model in predicting Solana's daily closing price. The dataset used consists of historical Solana price data and network fundamentals data in the form of Total Value Locked (TVL). The research process includes data preprocessing, dividing training and test data, model training, and evaluation using the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) metric. The results show that using the same-day price feature has the potential to cause target leakage, resulting in invalid prediction accuracy. In testing using pure historical data without data leakage, the XGBoost model performed better than TFT with an RMSE of 4.27, while TFT produced an RMSE of 18.59. Furthermore, the integration of network fundamentals data in the form of TVL did not improve prediction accuracy and even caused a decrease in performance for the XGBoost model with an RMSE of 7.10. The results of this study show that the use of historical price action features is more effective than fundamental network indicators for short-term daily Solana price predictions.

This study describes a comparative analysis of public financial systems in the ancient world, medieval Europe, and early Islam from a social justice perspective. The purpose of this study is to analyze the public financial systems of the ancient world, medieval Europe, and early Islam from a social justice perspective. The research method is qualitative. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis techniques through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study indicate that the ancient world had an administratively efficient financial system but was highly centered on the power of the ruler, resulting in high social inequality. In medieval Europe, the financial system was influenced by feudalism and religious values, but was fragmented and dependent on the elite, resulting in an unequal distribution of wealth. Meanwhile, early Islam presented a more structured financial system through the Baitul Mal (Financial Treasury) and instruments such as zakat, kharaj, and jizyah, oriented towards social justice and wealth redistribution. However, all three systems have their respective weaknesses, especially in aspects of implementation, accountability, and equity. This study concludes that social justice in the public financial system requires the integration of institutional efficiency, ethical values, and strong redistribution mechanisms.

This study examines the environmental advocacy strategies carried out by WALHI Jambi in addressing the pollution of the Batanghari River caused by illegal gold mining activities. This issue reflects ongoing environmental degradation and weak policy enforcement in managing natural resources. The study aims to analyze advocacy practices in terms of raising public awareness, community organizing, and influencing policy. A qualitative approach with a case study method was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. The findings show that WALHI Jambi has undertaken various advocacy efforts, including media campaigns, public actions, community assistance, and engagement in policy forums. However, these efforts remain not fully optimal. Public awareness initiatives are still limited to information dissemination, community organizing has not yet developed into a strong collective movement, and policy influence is constrained by the absence of systematic instruments such as formal documentation, litigation, and structured coalitions. This study contributes to the understanding of environmental advocacy practices and highlights the need for strengthening advocacy strategies to achieve more effective policy influence and sustainable environmental governance.
