Advances in information and communication technology have encouraged governments to integrate digital systems into public service delivery through e-government initiatives. In Riau Province, the Riau application at the Soeman H.S. Library exemplifies this implementation. This study examines how the Riau application enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of public services within the library. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Findings show that the application provides convenient online access to library information and services. However, challenges remain, including limited financial resources, dependence on external parties, and insufficient feature development to meet user needs fully. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening institutional capacity, improving infrastructure, and formulating strategic plans to sustain digital library services. In line with Indonesia’s 1945 Constitution, regional governments possess autonomy to manage local affairs, aiming to improve public welfare through enhanced services, community empowerment, and civic participation while promoting regional competitiveness with attention to equity and democratic values. Following Presidential Instruction No. 3 of 2003, digital governance transformation is necessary to reduce bureaucratic barriers, integrate workflows, and support inter-institutional collaboration.

Library material processing is an essential activity in library management to support collection organization and facilitate users’ access to information. The Library of the Museum of the History of the Qur’an of North Sumatra possesses a diverse collection of materials, including Islamic books and general books; therefore, a well-planned and systematic collection processing system is required. This internship activity aims to describe the process of processing Islamic and general library materials through cataloging and book labeling activities at the Library of the Museum of the History of the Qur’an of North Sumatra. The method used in this internship was a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques including observation, documentation, and direct practice in the processing of library materials. The results of the internship indicate that cataloging and book labeling play a significant role in creating organized collections, facilitating information retrieval, and supporting the effectiveness of library services. Thus, processing library materials through cataloging and labeling constitutes a strategic effort to enhance the quality of collection management at the Library of the Museum of the History of the Qur’an of North Sumatra.

Punitive populism is a political-legal phenomenon that replaces legal rationality and corrective justice with a rhetoric of power that negates the protection of human rights and the rehabilitative function of the criminal justice system. In this context, criminal policy tends to be characterized by a repressive approach that prioritizes symbolic punishment for short-term political legitimacy. Social polarization further strengthens the destructive power of punitive populism by making the issue of crime a symbolic instrument in identity conflicts, thereby losing its autonomy and submitting to an emotional, majoritarian logic. This study aims to analyze how punitive populism, as a product of the interaction between populist logic and social polarization, results in the erosion of the basic values of modern law, particularly the principles of proportionality, legal certainty, and human rights protection. Furthermore, this study also identifies structural barriers that hinder efforts to curb its expansion in criminal policy. The study uses qualitative methods with a conceptual approach. Data were obtained through library research of academic literature, legal documents, and policy analysis, then processed using qualitative analysis techniques and presented descriptively. The research findings show that punitive populism has shifted the orientation of criminal policy from a paradigm of justice and rehabilitation to a logic of punishment that is reactive to public emotional distress. The mass media, particularly within a polarized information ecosystem, plays a role in shaping distorted perceptions of crime, thereby reinforcing public demands for harsh and immediate policies. This situation creates legal vulnerability to political instrumentalism, threatens the principle of the rule of law, and deepens social exclusion of vulnerable groups. To address this, strategic steps are needed, including limiting fear-based political rhetoric, strengthening independent legal institutions, and rebuilding a criminal law paradigm based on substantive justice, inclusivity, and respect for human rights.

Negligence in pharmaceutical services is a multifaceted issue that significantly impacts patient safety, the quality of healthcare delivery, and the professional reputation of pharmacists in Indonesia. Such negligence can occur at various stages of pharmaceutical services, including prescribing, dispensing, storage, and administration of medication to patients. The causes of negligence are diverse, encompassing excessive workload, inadequate understanding and application of professional ethical codes, ineffective communication between pharmacists and other healthcare professionals, and suboptimal supervisory and audit systems. This study aims to analyze the ethical and professional implications of negligence in pharmaceutical services and to identify preventive efforts that can improve the quality of pharmaceutical services. This study employs a library research method with a qualitative descriptive approach, thoroughly reviewing scientific literature indexed in Sinta and other reputable academic sources to analyze the ethical and professional implications of negligence in pharmaceutical services. Findings reveal that negligence not only violates core professional ethical principles such as beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice but also exposes pharmacists to serious legal and disciplinary sanctions. Furthermore, negligence leads to long-term negative consequences, including diminished public trust in pharmaceutical services and the broader healthcare system, ultimately hindering national efforts to improve healthcare quality. Therefore, this study recommends continuous professional ethics training, strengthening of both internal and external supervisory mechanisms, and the innovative use of information technology to minimize negligence risks in pharmaceutical practice. The implementation of these measures is expected to enhance pharmaceutical service quality, uphold the integrity and dignity of the pharmacist profession, and provide optimal patient protection in Indonesia.

The problem of accessibility and efficiency of book search is still a major challenge in school libraries, especially those that still rely on manual systems. This study aims to implement and test the effectiveness of an information retrieval system (IRS) based on the Dice Similarity method in the SMA Negeri 1 Siantan Library, West Kalimantan. The research method used is experimental descriptive quantitative, with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation, as well as system testing on collection data and library user activities. The system was developed using the Laravel framework and MySQL database, and evaluated using precision and recall metrics. The results showed that the system has a Precision value of 100% and a variable Recall value, with the highest value of 66.66% and the lowest of 14.28%. The implementation of this system significantly speeds up the search process, minimizes recording errors, and increases user satisfaction. The findings recommend the adoption of Dice Similarity-based IRS as an applicable solution for school libraries in supporting literacy and easy access to information. The findings are expected to be a reference for the development of library information systems in educational environments with limited resources.
