The development of digital technology, particularly deepfake, has brought negative impacts, including the protection against non-consensual pornography content. Deepfake, which uses artificial intelligence to manipulate images, videos, or audio, allows the creation of pornography without the consent of the individual whose face or identity is manipulated. This phenomenon results in violations of privacy, honor, and the psychological well-being of the victims, while also spreading false information that can damage public perception. Although Indonesia has regulations such as Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) and Law No. 44 of 2008 on Pornography, there are no specific provisions regulating the use of deepfake technology. This article identifies deficiencies in existing regulations and provides recommendations for adaptive legal measures, including legislative updates, strengthening digital platform responsibilities, enhancing law enforcement capacity, and international cooperation to address this threat. It is hoped that with these measures, protection for individuals in the digital era can be strengthened.

Land cover change has a significant impact on the hydrology of watershed areas, including increasing flood risk. This study aims to analyze land cover changes in the Siborgonyi and Acai sub-watersheds between 2013 and 2022 and their impact on flood potential. The methods used include spatial analysis with GIS, flood modeling using HEC-RAS, and Curve Number (CN) calculations to identify changes in soil infiltration capacity. The results show that land cover changes have a substantial effect on the increase in flood risk. The reduction of forest areas and the expansion of built-up land indicate a large-scale conversion of natural vegetation into residential and infrastructure areas. CN values in 2022 increased across most areas, indicating reduced soil infiltration capacity and increased surface runoff. Flood modeling shows that both the extent and depth of inundation significantly increased in 2022, particularly in downstream areas with basin-like topography.

This study investigates the profound impact of the protracted humanitarian crisis in the conflict zone of Syam on the mental health of healthcare professionals, employing a systematic meta-analytical approach across 47 independent studies (N = 12,487) published between 2011 and 2023. The findings reveal an alarmingly high prevalence of burnout, reaching 78.3% (95% CI [75.2–81.4]), with emotional exhaustion recorded as the most dominant dimension (M = 3.89; SD = 0.76). Additionally, secondary trauma was identified in 65.7% of all respondents (95% CI [62.4–69.0]), with the primary symptoms manifesting as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at 44.2% and depression at 39.8%. Meta-regression analysis demonstrated that the duration of exposure to conflict (β = 0.42; p < 0.001) and the intensity of workload (β = 0.38; p < 0.001) served as significant predictors of burnout. Meanwhile, the lack of psychosocial support (OR = 2.34; 95% CI [1.89–2.79]) and critical resource scarcity (OR = 1.98; 95% CI [1.65–2.31]) were strongly correlated with the emergence of secondary trauma among healthcare professionals. Furthermore, diverging from the more individualistic frameworks employed in the studies of Bdaiwi et al. (2020) and Bou-Karroum et al. (2020), this research explores the intricate entanglement of organizational and situational determinants that concurrently shape the mental health landscape of medical personnel operating in the Syam conflict zone. Moreover, the study's original contribution lies in identifying resilience adaptation patterns observed in 34.2% of participants, revealing that endurance capacity was cultivated through collective coping strategies and close peer support. According to the researchers, this study offers a new lens for designing community-based psychological interventions that are both sustainable and contextually grounded for healthcare providers affected by the protracted armed conflict in Syam.

This study aims to examine the role of leaders in group counseling dynamics through a literature review approach. In group guidance practices, leaders serve not only as technical facilitators but also as catalysts who shape healthy and productive interaction structures. The literature review reveals that leadership effectiveness is strongly influenced by interpersonal competence, the guidance strategies employed, and sensitivity to the diverse backgrounds of group members. Techniques such as sociodrama and reflection, along with approaches like Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, and Solution-Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC), have been proven to significantly enhance group dynamics. Additionally, ongoing training is a strategic measure to strengthen leaders’ capacity in managing groups effectively. Therefore, adaptive, empathetic, and reflective leaders play a crucial role in fostering a supportive and transformative group climate.

The development of tourist villages is one of the strategic efforts to maximize local potential while improving community welfare. Tourist villages not only focus on the exploration of natural and cultural resources but also involve local communities as the main subjects in management. Tanjungsari Village, Sadananya District, Ciamis Regency, has natural tourism potential that can be developed into a tourist village, one of which is Curug Panganten which is a water tourism. However, it has not run optimally, several problems have hampered its development, such as the lack of competent tourist village managers and the absence of village regulations (Perdes) as a legal basis for tourism management. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and literature studies. The data obtained were analyzed to understand the characteristics and obstacles faced in the development of tourist villages. The results of the study show that the potential for Curug Panganten tourism in Tanjungsari Village has not been managed optimally due to the lack of human resources trained in tourism management and the absence of regulations that systematically regulate tourism management and development. In addition, community involvement and support from the local government still need to be improved to create a sustainable tourist village. The hope for the future is that the formation of Perdes can be the first step in realizing a more structured tourism management, followed by training for tourism managers to increase capacity and professionalism. With clear regulations and good management, Tanjungsari Village is expected to develop into a competitive tourist destination and provide economic and social benefits for the local community.

This essay examines Nigeria's leadership dilemma and civil-military relations in the twenty-first century. The connections between the civilian authority (CAU) and non-governmental civilian organizations are known as civil-military relations (CMR) organizations (NGCG) against the military. However, peacebuilding is a strategy for fostering reconciliation and capacity building that aims to stop conflict or its resumption. The study looks at South West Nigeria's peacebuilding and civil-military relations from 2011 to 2018. The documentary research approach was used for this study, while content analysis was used to examine the work's content. Data for the research project was gathered through observation and documentary investigations. Agency theory is the theory used in this investigation. The results showed that: the military voluntarily accepts their subordinate status to the civilian authority or his representatives because of a constitutional provision that allows for their subordination to civilian authority; Additional results indicate that there was a bad peace between the military and non-governmental civilian groups because of the disputes between the two groups, which were centered on mass harassment and intimidation. The National Assembly should pass legislation requiring only former military personnel to serve as ministers of defense and police, respectively, according to the study's recommendations. Once more, the National Assembly should establish the Independent Monitoring Operation on Military (IMOM) from among non-governmental civilian organizations to keep an eye on troops' movements and actions. It should also have the authority to reprimand and sanction soldiers.

This research focuses on designing the shortest path to a docking station for the charging system of a robotic coffee delivery system on a cruise ship.

This study aims to examine the practice of money politics that occurred in the 2024 Legislative Election in Alor Regency and its impact on the quality of democracy in the region. Money politics is a highly relevant issue because it has the potential to undermine the basic principles of democracy, reduce electoral integrity, and create inequities in political representation. This practice generally involves giving money or goods to voters with the aim of influencing their political choices, which of course reduces the quality of public political participation. A qualitative approach was used in this study, with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews with various parties involved in the election process, direct field observations, and a review of documents relevant to the elections in Alor Regency. This technique allows for more in-depth data collection and provides a better understanding of how money politics occurs at the local level. The results show that the practice of money politics still frequently occurs in the lead-up to election day, both in the form of giving cash and goods to voters. This phenomenon indicates a decline in the quality of public political participation, where political choices are more influenced by material rewards than by considering the competence of legislative candidates. This indicates a disorientation in the democratic process, where voters focus more on immediate gains than on the capacity and integrity of candidates. The impact of this money politics practice is significant for local democracy. The decline in public trust in the political process exacerbates the dependency between voters and political elites, which in turn leads to inequality in political access and representation. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening political education for the public and stricter law enforcement against perpetrators of money politics to improve the quality of democracy in Alor Regency.

Integrated public services in a one-stop service system, such as the one implemented at the Mal Pelayanan Publik (MPP) Badung, serve as an answer to the public's demand for efficient, fast, and transparent bureaucracy. However, in its implementation, MPP still faces various strategic challenges, such as fragmentation between agencies, limited human resources, and suboptimal digital system integration that supports cross-sector services. This study aims to analyze adaptive and collaborative managerial strategies to address these challenges and explore digital innovation opportunities to improve service quality. By using a literature review method from various journals, policy reports, and supporting documents, this study shows that the success of the one-stop service system greatly depends on visionary leadership, synergy between agencies, and adequate technological support. The discussion concludes that flexible, responsive managerial strategies that emphasize cross-agency collaboration can enhance efficiency and user satisfaction. Therefore, updating digital systems, involving the community, and improving human resource capacity are crucial steps in realizing modern and sustainable public services. Another key factor for success is the adoption of innovative digital technologies. By investing in digital infrastructure, MPP can automate many of its processes, reducing paperwork, speeding up response times, and ensuring better coordination between departments. The development of user-friendly platforms and mobile applications will also allow citizens to access services more easily, improving their satisfaction. Additionally, involving the community in the decision-making process through feedback and engagement mechanisms can help identify areas for improvement and tailor services to better meet the public's needs. To ensure long-term success, continuous capacity building for human resources is essential. Well-trained staff, equipped with the skills and knowledge to operate advanced systems, will be able to provide higher-quality services.
