Vandalism is a social problem affecting public space quality, urban aesthetics, and the effectiveness of public facilities utilization. Karawang Regency, as a developing industrial area, faces challenges related to increasing acts of vandalism targeting public facilities, open spaces, and government and private assets. This study aims to analyze preventive efforts carried out by the Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) of Karawang Regency using J. Salusu’s public sector strategic management perspective. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving Satpol PP officers and public facility users. Data analysis consisted of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing with source, technique, and time triangulation. The findings indicate that preventive strategies have been implemented through four strategic management phases. In the identification phase, Satpol PP recognized vandalism patterns but lacked systematic mapping of vulnerable locations. In the development phase, institutional strengths existed alongside limitations in resources and innovation. In the resolution phase, strategies focused on socialization, routine patrols, and cross-sector collaboration. In implementation and evaluation, preventive programs operated adaptively but still encountered limitations in personnel capacity and public participation. Strengthening technology utilization, human resources, and collaborative governance is necessary to improve long-term preventive effectiveness.

Digital documents have become an essential medium for storing, managing, and distributing information in various sectors. Nevertheless, the risk of document alteration and forgery requires an effective mechanism to verify document authenticity. This research focuses on the implementation of Base64 and Pepper methods in a QR Code-based document verification system. The system was developed following the Waterfall software development model, which consists of requirement analysis, system design, implementation, and testing stages. A web-based application was created using PHP and MySQL. Verification tokens were produced from document identity data combined with a Pepper value, encoded using Base64, and embedded into QR Codes attached to PDF documents. During verification, the QR Code is scanned and the extracted token is compared with records stored in the database. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system is capable of verifying document authenticity accurately and efficiently. Furthermore, Black Box Testing confirmed that all implemented functions operated as expected. Therefore, the integration of Base64 and Pepper contributes to improving the security and dependability of digital document verification.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that may persist into adulthood and affect academic, social, and occupational functioning. In adult patients, ADHD is frequently associated with an increased risk of Substance Use Disorder (SUD), raising concerns regarding the potential for misuse and dependence related to stimulant medications used in ADHD therapy. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy for adult ADHD and to review the risk of stimulant misuse and dependence based on current scientific evidence. The method employed in this study was a literature review using data obtained from national and international journals indexed in Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar published between 2017 and 2026. The findings indicated that stimulant medications, such as methylphenidate and amphetamine, were effective in reducing the core symptoms of ADHD by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine activity in the central nervous system. Most studies reported that the use of stimulant medications at therapeutic doses and under medical supervision was not significantly associated with an increased risk of substance misuse or dependence. The risk of misuse was more commonly observed in cases involving non-medical use and inadequate clinical monitoring. In addition to pharmacological therapy, non-pharmacological approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) also contributed to improving treatment outcomes and patients’ quality of life. Therefore, the use of stimulant medications in adult ADHD patients may be considered relatively safe and effective when administered rationally, individually, and under appropriate medical supervision.

Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) pada kawasan industri konvensional umumnya masih mengandalkan strategi pemeliharaan berbasis interval waktu yang tetap. Pendekatan tersebut berisiko menyebabkan penurunan performa pompa yang tidak teridentifikasi secara dini serta meningkatkan potensi pemborosan energi operasional.

Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa model menghasilkan tingkat akurasi klasifikasi sebesar 100%, dengan variabel Vibration dan Temperature menjadi parameter yang paling dominan dalam proses prediksi. Analisis operasional memperlihatkan bahwa degradasi pompa menyebabkan penurunan flow rate meskipun nilai rotasi per menit (RPM) mengalami peningkatan, sehingga memicu kenaikan konsumsi energi dan meningkatkan risiko gangguan pada proses biologis Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR). Dari aspek ekonomi, kondisi tersebut menyebabkan pemborosan energi sebesar 5.623 kWh atau setara Rp6.271.236, - per bulan untuk setiap unit pompa. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan sistem predictive maintenance berbasis kecerdasan buatan untuk mendukung efisiensi energi serta implementasi green manufacturing di kawasan industri.

This study aims to develop a more systematic system for evaluating the performance of Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) based on the Health Center Management cluster. Performance evaluation of Puskesmas plays an important role in improving the quality of public healthcare services, particularly in Sragen Regency. However, the current evaluation process has not been integrated into a computerized system, making it less effective in supporting decision-making. Therefore, this study develops a decision support system by integrating the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the *Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methods. The AHP method is used to determine the weight of each criterion based on its level of importance, while the TOPSIS method is applied to generate an objective ranking of Puskesmas performance. The results indicate that the system is capable of utilizing nine evaluation criteria to produce a ranking of Puskesmas within the Health Center Management cluster, from the highest to the lowest score. The developed system is expected to support a more effective evaluation process and improve decision-making. Future research may enhance the system by incorporating additional evaluation clusters, expanding the number of assessment criteria, and optimizing its features and security.

The growth of the nickel mining industry in Indonesia, particularly in Southeast Sulawesi Province, has made this sector one of the main contributors to the Regional Gross Domestic Product (RGDP). However, the development of supporting infrastructure—especially mining haulage roads—still faces various risks that could potentially cause project delays and disrupt operational efficiency. Therefore, a systematic risk identification process is necessary to ensure that project implementation proceeds in accordance with established time, cost, and quality targets. This study aims to identify and assess risks in mining infrastructure development projects using a stakeholder-based approach. This approach is employed to gain an understanding of the risks that arise from the perspectives of the parties involved in the project. The results of this study describe the dominant risks that could potentially occur in nickel mining projects, namely opposition from the local community surrounding the project, conflicts with community organizations, denial of access to project roads, and disruption of project security due to inadequate security measures by authorities. It is hoped that these dominant risks can serve as a basis for developing effective risk mitigation strategies to support the successful and sustainable development of mining infrastructure.

This study aims to identify the pragmatic failures of Large Language Models (LLMs) and the biases of Anglophone-based AI moderation algorithms in detecting Indonesian hate speech expressed through sarcasm, satire, euphemism, and local cultural metaphors. It also examines the extent to which AI systems understand and interpret the pragmatic meanings within the corpus. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach with a comparative design. Data were collected through the documentation of hate speech expressions on social media containing elements of local cultural hatred. The data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods with pragmatic and thematic approaches. The findings show that all corpus data contain political satire and indirect hate expressed through irony, sarcasm, absurd metaphors, and popular culture wordplay. Testing with Claude AI showed that the system was capable of identifying the data as implicit criticism and recognizing the pragmatic functions of emoticons and contextual meanings in the utterances. However, the analysis also demonstrated limitations in understanding local sociocultural contexts, particularly the metaphors “daun nangka” and “daun sawit,” which were interpreted merely as absurd humor. These findings indicate that AI detection accuracy does not necessarily reflect a deep pragmatic and cultural understanding within the Indonesian context.

Diesel engines are widely used in the transportation and industrial sectors due to their high thermal efficiency and good operational durability. However, increased fuel consumption due to inefficiency of the injection system remains a common problem. Injector characteristics, particularly nozzle diameter and injection pressure, are important factors that affect the quality of fuel atomization, air-fuel mixing, and combustion efficiency. An inappropriate combination of parameters can cause suboptimal combustion and increase fuel consumption. This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in nozzle diameter and injection pressure on fuel consumption efficiency in diesel engines. The method used is an experiment with variations in nozzle diameter of 0.150 mm, 0.152 mm, and 0.154 mm and injection pressures of 400 bar, 420 bar, and 440 bar. Tests were conducted at engine speeds of 500 rpm, 1000 rpm, and 1500 rpm with a fuel consumption measurement time of one minute for each parameter combination. Fuel consumption was measured using the volumetric method and analyzed through the fuel volumetric flow rate, fuel mass flow rate, Brake Power (BP), and Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC). The results showed that the combination of a nozzle diameter of 0.150 mm and an injection pressure of 400 bar produced the lowest BSFC value, thus providing the best fuel consumption efficiency. Meanwhile, the combination of a nozzle diameter of 0.152 mm and an injection pressure of 420 bar showed the closest condition to optimal because it was able to provide a balance between atomization quality and the amount of fuel injected, resulting in efficient and stable combustion. Thus, the efficiency of a diesel engine is influenced by the balance of nozzle size and injection pressure, not solely by the lowest fuel consumption.

The results of the study, namely modernization of the administrative system (X1), motivation (X2), and trust in the government (X3), had a positive and significant impact on compliance in paying taxes (Y).

Introduction: Febrile seizures are seizure episodes that occur due to an increase in body temperature above 38°C without evidence of central nervous system infection such as meningitis or encephalitis. In Indonesia, the prevalence of febrile seizures is approximately 2–5% among children aged 6 months to 3 years, and around 30% of these cases experience recurrence or recurrent febrile seizures. Therefore, an appropriate nursing care plan is required to manage patients with febrile seizures. Methods: This scientific paper employed a descriptive narrative method to illustrate the provision of nursing care to patients through the nursing process approach. The general objective of this study was to understand and implement nursing care for patients with febrile seizures. Results: The nursing diagnoses identified in patients with febrile seizures were hyperthermia, risk for injury, and knowledge deficit. Nursing interventions included hyperthermia management, safety management, and health education. Conclusion: After two days of nursing implementation, two nursing diagnoses were resolved and one was partially resolved. Discharge planning included monitoring the patient's condition, particularly for seizure signs, maintaining a safe environment, educating the family about injury prevention during seizures, and encouraging family members to continuously supervise the patient.

Stroke is a neurological condition caused by disruption of blood flow to the brain due to blockage or rupture of blood vessels, leading to nerve cell death. WHO (2022) recorded more than 12 million new stroke cases annually, with a prevalence in Brebes Regency reaching 27.83 per mil. The high incidence of stroke accompanied by physical mobility impairment and the family's lack of knowledge about its management highlights the importance of comprehensive family nursing care. This study aims to apply a complete nursing care process including assessment, diagnosis, intervention, implementation, and evaluation to the family of Mr. K with a stroke case. The method used is descriptive with a case study approach through family nursing care. Assessment findings revealed that the patient had experienced stroke for approximately 7 years with a history of hypertension, weakness of the right extremities, decreased muscle strength, blood pressure of 160/90 mmHg, and the family did not understand how to care for stroke at home. Two nursing diagnoses were established: ineffective health maintenance in the family and impaired physical mobility. Interventions included health education about stroke, Range of Motion (ROM) exercises, and rubber ball grip therapy involving the family as caregivers. After 2 days of implementation, both nursing diagnoses were resolved: ineffective health maintenance in the family was resolved and impaired physical mobility was resolved.

The quality of boiler feedwater is a crucial factor in maintaining the operational reliability of ship machinery systems against the risks of corrosion and scale formation. This research focuses on the design and development of a real-time monitoring system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) to automatically determine water quality. The hardware development utilizes a NodeMCU ESP32 microcontroller that integrates four main sensors: a pH sensor, a DS18B20 temperature sensor, a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) sensor, and a turbidity sensor. The methodology applied is an experimental systems engineering model, encompassing circuit design, software programming, and the implementation of simple artificial intelligence. The automatic decision-making process in this tool is designed using zero-order Sugeno fuzzy logic with input parameters of turbidity, salinity, and acidity level (pH). The obtained data is transmitted wirelessly to a Firebase database and visualized through a 0.96-inch OLED display. Functional tests on seven fluid characteristics including pure water, hard water, and muddy water show that this prototype can accurately classify water quality into Good, Fair, and Poor categories. The main contribution of this design is the provision of a preventive, efficient, and applicable boiler maintenance solution for the modern shipping industry.

This study aims to examine the implementation of policies regarding the use of the e-Kelurahan feature in the Sangu Palu application in Taipa Village. The study employs George C. Edward III’s policy implementation theory, which consists of four dimensions: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature review involving nine informants. The findings indicate that the implementation of the e-Kelurahan policy has not yet run optimally. The main obstacle lies in the communication aspect, particularly the lack of direct public socialization regarding the use of the application, resulting in low public understanding and limited utilization of digital services. In addition, training for village officials has not been conducted continuously, as it was only provided during the initial implementation stage. Therefore, periodic retraining is needed to improve technical competence and evaluate service performance. Although the aspects of disposition and bureaucratic structure have generally functioned well, they have not been sufficient to optimize digital service utilization. These findings are consistent with the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) evaluation results, which place Palu City in the “sufficient” category, indicating the need for further improvement in digital service implementation.

Background: Lymphadenopathy is an enlargement of the lymph nodes commonly caused by infection or inflammatory processes, which may lead to pain and risk of postoperative complications. This study aims to provide a comprehensive description of nursing care for a patient following left-sided lymphadenopathy surgery. Method: This case study used a nursing process approach, encompassing data collection through interviews, observation, physical examination, and documentation review of medical records conducted in Mawar 2 Ward at RSUD dr. Soeselo, Tegal Regency. Results: Based on assessment, three primary nursing diagnoses were identified: acute pain, knowledge deficit, and risk of infection. Following standard nursing interventions, pain was reduced, patient knowledge improved, and the wound was maintained without signs of infection. Conclusion: The systematic application of nursing care can help reduce patient complaints and prevent postoperative complications of lymphadenopathy.

Patient trust is a crucial variable in hospital management, determining clinical success, treatment adherence, and institutional loyalty. In the increasingly competitive and digitalized modern healthcare landscape, hospitals face unique challenges stemming from the inherent characteristics of healthcare services. This article presents a systematic literature review exploring the determinants of patient trust through the lens of hospital service characteristics: intangibility, inseparability, variability, and perishability. This study followed the PRISMA protocol and analyzed 150 articles published between 2010 and 2026 from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. The review results indicate that assurance and empathy are the most significant service quality dimensions in mitigating perceived risk due to intangibility. Meanwhile, the quality of therapeutic communication is a key factor in managing inseparability, and standardization of operational procedures is necessary to address variability. The study also identifies the role of digital technology and the physical environment as "tangible evidence" that strengthens hospital credibility. The managerial implications of this research emphasize the need for organizational culture transformation oriented toward humanitarian values ​​and transparency to rebuild public trust that has eroded in the post-pandemic era.

The development of digital governance has accelerated the transformation of public financial management through e-budgeting, e-reporting, and integrated digital financial systems. However, studies discussing digital public financial management in cross-border areas remain fragmented and dispersed across disciplines. This study aims to systematically map the development of research on digital public financial management in cross-border contexts through publication trends, influential journals, active researchers, keyword patterns, countries, institutions, and research areas. This research employed a qualitative approach using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and bibliometric analysis based on 48 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2020 and 2026. The findings indicate that publications increased significantly after 2023, reflecting growing scholarly interest in cross-border digital finance and governance. The literature is dominated by economics and finance perspectives, while public financial governance and fiscal accountability in border areas remain underexplored. In addition, knowledge production is still concentrated in a limited number of countries and institutions, particularly in Europe. This study contributes by providing an intellectual mapping of the field and identifying opportunities for future research integrating digital governance, public financial management, and border studies.

This study analyzes the implementation of the Central Papua One-Stop Service Information System (Sipersateng) at the Central Papua Provincial Secretariat as a model for administrative innovation in the New Autonomous Region (DOB). The main focus of the study is to explore how a region with extreme infrastructure limitations can leapfrog or institutionalize towards an agile and transparent digital bureaucracy. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical method with a case study approach, this research involved in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies to capture the dynamics of the transition from manual to digital systems. The results show that Sipersateng successfully reduced administrative process time by up to 60%. This success was driven by three main dimensions: institutional legitimacy through strong leadership commitment, technical resilience through offline-syncing features to address internet signal fluctuations, and significant changes in work culture. Adaptation strategies such as peer-mentoring methods for senior officials and mandatory policies through gubernatorial instructions proved effective in breaking down organizational cultural resistance. This study concludes that Sipersateng is not merely a technical tool, but rather a manifestation of Frontier Digital Bureaucracy that is able to mitigate the risk of maladministration and build public accountability in the newly formed province. This innovation demonstrates that geographic limitations are not a major barrier to achieving clean governance if supported by inclusive and adaptive system design. These findings provide a theoretical contribution to the public management literature on digitalization in regions with high structural challenges.

Judicial digital transformation through the implementation of e-Court and e-Litigation represents a strategic initiative of the Supreme Court of Indonesia to establish a modern, effective, and efficient judiciary. These innovations have successfully transformed various stages of civil case administration and litigation into faster and more transparent processes. However, the success of digitalization in case examination has not been accompanied by similar reforms in the execution of court judgments. This study aims to analyze the regulation of civil judgment execution following the implementation of e-Court and e-Litigation, identify challenges encountered in practice, and formulate a concept of execution digitalization as part of judicial reform. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The legal materials consist of primary legal sources in the form of legislation and Supreme Court regulations, as well as secondary legal sources including scholarly literature and previous studies. The findings reveal that although e-Court and e-Litigation have accelerated dispute resolution processes, the execution of civil judgments remains largely conventional. Consequently, several challenges persist, including delays in execution, lack of transparency, and limited supervision by litigating parties. Therefore, the development of an integrated Digital Execution System linked to existing electronic judicial platforms is necessary to enhance the effectiveness of judgment enforcement and ensure greater legal certainty for justice seekers.

Kampung Batik Okra, located in Kranggan Urban Village, Bubutan District, Surabaya City, represents a community-based creative economy initiative officially inaugurated on 28 December 2022 by the Surabaya City Government. This study aims to analyze the facilitating role of the urban village administration in strengthening the creative economic capacity of residents through the batik industry, as well as to identify supporting and inhibiting factors for community empowerment in Kampung Batik Okra. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Informants were purposively selected, encompassing village government officials, batik group administrators, artisans, and academic facilitators. The findings reveal that the urban village administration performs three principal facilitative roles: (1) facilitation of training and skill enhancement; (2) facilitation of market access and promotion; and (3) facilitation of multi-stakeholder partnerships. These roles contribute significantly to the strengthening of residents’ creative economic capacity, as evidenced by an increase in active artisans, product diversification, and expanded marketing networks. Nevertheless, limited human resource capacity within the village administration, inconsistent community participation, and restricted access to capital remain structural barriers requiring more systemic policy interventions. This research offers a conceptual framework of empowerment-based facilitating roles for urban villages, which may serve as a reference for developing creative economy villages in Indonesian urban areas.
