Drug logistics management is a critical component of pharmaceutical services that ensures the availability, quality, safety, and rational use of medicines. Inadequate logistics management may lead to stock shortages, overstocking, increased operational costs, and disruptions in healthcare services. This study aimed to analyze the drug logistics management system at Altara Simalingkar Clinic, encompassing planning, budgeting, procurement, receiving, storage, distribution, utilization, recording and reporting, as well as monitoring and evaluation. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving a pharmacy assistant technician as the key informant directly responsible for the daily technical operations of drug logistics management. Data were analyzed thematically by comparing interview findings, observations, and supporting documents. The results showed that the drug logistics management system at Altara Simalingkar Clinic generally complied with pharmaceutical logistics management principles. Drug planning was based on previous utilization data, disease patterns, and evaluations of fast-moving and slow-moving medicines. Storage practices implemented the First Expired First Out  method, while recording and reporting activities were supported by a pharmacy management information system. However, three structural challenges were identified: delays in drug delivery from distributors, limited storage capacity that does not meet WHO Good Storage Practice standards, and discrepancies between physical stock and administrative records arising from the dual manual-digital recording system. To enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of pharmaceutical services, it is recommended to diversify distributors for critical medicines, fully digitize inventory recording through barcode implementation, and optimize storage infrastructure in accordance with applicable regulatory standards.

This study analyzes the obstacles in fulfilling the proof of deposit for Final Income Tax (PPh Final) as a requirement for land certificate name transfer at the Land Office of Bandar Lampung City. These obstacles impact legal uncertainty regarding land ownership and slow down public services. The research employs a descriptive analytical method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with counter officers, verifiers, and the Land Rights Determination and Registration section, as well as direct observation and documentation at the local office. The findings identify three main classifications of obstacles. First, technical obstacles include payment data not being readable in the Land Office Computerization System (KKP) and barcodes on tax clearance certificates being unreadable. Second, administrative obstacles encompass data mismatches (nominal amounts, identities, Tax Object Numbers) and incomplete documents. Third, document-related obstacles include poor-quality photocopies and discrepancies in tax dates or years. Contributing factors are data entry errors (human error), lack of thoroughness, integration issues between the KKP system and the tax system, as well as taxpayers' low technical understanding. The consequences include process delays, re-verification with the tax office, and document returns. This study concludes that system-related obstacles, particularly the lack of optimal integration, are dominant. Recommended improvements include integrating the KKP system with the Directorate General of Taxes, enhancing automatic validation, simplifying validation procedures at the tax office, and increasing tax literacy among taxpayers.

This study examines the transportation management flow at PT Xpresindo Logistik Utama Medan Warehouse and its impact on delivery accuracy. The research method used a qualitative approach through direct observation and interviews with warehouse managers and operational staff. The results showed that the distribution flow from receiving goods from Jakarta to shipping to customers in Medan was quite effective, although it was still dominated by manual systems such as the use of Delivery Notes and Excel records. The use of the Monstra tracking application was not evenly distributed, so fleet movement information was not always updated in real time, especially when demand volume increased at the end of the month. To improve efficiency, the study recommended the implementation of a Transportation Management System (TMS), digitalization of barcode/QR code-based inventory processes, and a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) dashboard to monitor delivery timeliness and fleet utilization periodically.

The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) industry increasingly relies on automation and digitalization to improve efficiency and accuracy in production and distribution processes. One common practice is the use of labels containing product information in the form of barcodes or QR codes, which allow automatic data input and reduce the risk of human error compared to manual writing. However, in current practices, these labels are only attached to PCBs after they have been placed inside casings. This creates a significant limitation, as access to the label information requires disassembling the casing whenever product verification, tracking, or troubleshooting is needed. Such a process not only consumes additional time and resources but also increases the risk of damaging the product. To overcome this challenge, this study proposes the development of a traceability system designed to accurately monitor the location, identity, and status of PCBs throughout the distribution process. The system was implemented as a web-based application capable of generating and printing product information labels in the form of barcodes and QR codes. Each label functions as a unique identifier, ensuring that every PCB can be distinctly tracked from production to final product assembly. All data associated with the labels is automatically stored in a centralized database, providing real-time accessibility, simplifying information management, and enabling faster decision-making in the event of quality control issues. System evaluation was carried out through rigorous testing, which showed a 100% success rate in generating, storing, and retrieving product information without errors. The findings indicate that the proposed traceability system is both effective and efficient, and it offers a practical solution for industries seeking to enhance supply chain visibility, improve product accountability, and reduce operational inefficiencies in PCB distribution and lifecycle management.

Image denoising is a fundamental challenge in image processing, where the objective is to remove noise while preserving critical image features. Traditional denoising methods, such as Wavelet, Total Variation (TV) minimization, and Non-Local Means (NLM), often struggle to maintain the topological integrity of image features, leading to the loss of essential structures. This study proposes a Cubical Persistent Homology-Based Technique (CPHBT) that leverages persistence barcodes to identify significant topological features and reduce noise. The method selects filtration levels that preserve important features like loops and connected components. Applied to digit images, our method demonstrates superior performance, achieving a Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of 46.88 and a Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) of 0.99, outperforming TV (PSNR: 21.52, SSIM: 0.9812) and NLM (PSNR: 22.09, SSIM: 0.9822). These results confirm that cubical persistent homology offers an effective solution for image denoising by balancing noise reduction and preserving critical topological features, thus enhancing overall image quality.
