The quality of life and well-being of women in Indonesia can be measured through the Female Life Expectancy indicator. Data on Female Life Expectancy from 2022 to 2024 shows a nationally positive trend; however, a significant disparity persists across provinces, particularly between the Western and Eastern regions of Indonesia. The nation still faces challenges in ensuring an equitable quality of life for women, as evidenced by the national Female Life Expectancy (FLE) in 2024 at 74.21 years, which remains lower than ASEAN counterparts such as Singapore at 83.86 years. Furthermore, regional imbalances are reflected in the performance gap between D.I. Yogyakarta (77.4 years) and West Sulawesi (68.28 years). This study aims to analyze the effects of Women's Income Contribution, Access to Clean Water, the Number of Families Receiving Social Assistance, and Women's Mean Years of Schooling on Female Life Expectancy in Indonesia during the 2022–2024 period. The estimation method applied in this research is the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) via a quantitative panel data regression approach, spanning an observation area of 33 provinces (n=99). Based on the analysis, Female Life Expectancy is proven to be positively and significantly influenced by Women's Mean Years of Schooling and Access to Clean Water. These findings indicate that human resource quality and environmental conditions serve as dominant factors in driving up Female Life Expectancy. Therefore, government policy interventions should ideally focus on expanding educational access for women and ensuring the equitable distribution of clean water infrastructure.

Adolescents face significant barriers in accessing reproductive health services due to fears of privacy breaches and social stigma. In primary healthcare facilities, healthcare professionals are often trapped in a dilemma between the obligation to maintain medical confidentiality based on professional ethics and national regulatory demands requiring parental involvement for underage patients. This study aims to analyze the practice of protecting adolescent patient data privacy at Mardi Saras Primary Clinic and identify the gap between practical implementation and the norms of medical ethics and applicable legal regulations. This study employs a socio-legal research method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with doctors and nurses, observation of service procedures, and study of the clinic's Standard Operating Procedures. The results indicate that although Mardi Saras Primary Clinic has implemented basic confidentiality protocols such as closed consultation rooms, there are substantial weaknesses in informed consent management, which still heavily relies on parental presence for all adolescent cases. This practice is driven by healthcare professionals' fear of legal risks, thereby ignoring the principle of developing autonomy in adolescents. These findings indicate a disparity between rigid administrative compliance and the spirit of protecting adolescent health rights within national regulations. The implication of this study underscores the urgency of developing specific SOPs that are sensitive to adolescent rights, as well as the need for continuous training for healthcare professionals regarding the legal and ethical boundaries of maintaining confidentiality for underage patients without compromising legal safety aspects.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever remained a major public health problem in tropical countries, including Indonesia. This study aimed to analyze trends in prevalence, incidence, and geographical disparities of dengue hemorrhagic fever in Indonesia from 2021 to 2023 using Global Burden of Disease data. A descriptive observational design with a longitudinal approach was applied to analyze national and provincial-level prevalence, incidence, and disease burden. The results showed that dengue prevalence and incidence at the national level gradually declined during the study period, although the magnitude of decline was relatively small. Significant geographical disparities persisted, with higher disease burden observed in several provinces in Sumatra, Kalimantan, and eastern Indonesia. Environmental conditions, population density, and unequal access to health services were considered important contributors to these variations. This study concluded that despite improvements in national dengue control efforts, region-specific and targeted interventions remained essential to reduce disease burden and minimize interprovincial disparities in Indonesia.

This research analyzes the application of the equality before the law principle in handling narcotics cases by the Legal Aid Institute (LBH) Legundi Surabaya. The principle of equality before the law is a fundamental principle guaranteed in Article 27 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution, yet its implementation in narcotics law enforcement still faces various challenges. This study employs a normative juridical method with a qualitative approach to examine LBH Legundi's strategies in ensuring clients fully obtain their constitutional rights. The findings reveal that although LBH Legundi has implemented various strategies such as detailed examination of arrest procedures, optimization of legal instruments, and efforts for detention suspension, the application of the equality before the law principle remains hindered by several factors. The main challenges include strong social stigma against narcotics offenders, limited resources of legal aid institutions, disparities in judicial decisions, structural barriers in accessing justice, weak supervision systems, minimal systemic support from the state, and a law enforcement mindset that remains punitive rather than rehabilitative. This condition creates a significant gap between suspects from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and those from affluent backgrounds, which contradicts the spirit of substantive justice. The study concludes that realizing the principle of equality before the law requires comprehensive reform touching structural, cultural, and systemic aspects of Indonesia's criminal justice system.  

This research deconstructs the manipulative architecture in the propaganda trilogy of the Japanese Army in 1942, namely Nippon Tjahaja Asia, Nippon Pelindoeng Asia, and Nippon Leader Asia, which have often been reduced to mere political euphemisms. With a descriptive-qualitative design, this study integrates Malcolm Coulthard and Alison Johnson's parameter-based Forensic Linguistics as the grand theory, as well as the three-dimensional model of Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (AWK) as an operational analysis instrument. The results of the analysis show that lexical manipulation through the messianic triptych "Light, Protector, Leader" and the use of assertive clauses without copula are engineered to produce false consciousness. Forensic Linguistic Parameters confirm the existence of a planned mens rea (malicious intent) from Sendenbu, with an extreme disparity between commissive speech in the form of a promise of protection and military actus reus in the form of romusha slavery and logistical seizure. This condition fulfills the elements of mass deception. Furthermore, the doctrinal repetition of the slogan is a form of linguistic coercion that exploits power asymmetry to castrate the people's critical reasoning. In conclusion, the invasion of Japanese fascism in Indonesia did not only take place through military equations, but also through a cognitive dictatorship based on language fabrication. This study is relevant as a historical mirror for detecting the anatomy of structural lies in the contemporary post-truth era.

This research investigates the concepts of heaven and hell within Nias culture and compares them with Catholic Church teachings, exploring their implications for Catholic Religious Education (PAK). Driven by the disparity in eschatological understanding between local culture and Catholic doctrine, and the crucial role of inculturation in faith life, a qualitative approach employing literature review was adopted. Data sources included Church documents, books, and relevant scholarly journals. Findings reveal that Nias culture perceives post-mortem existence not as a dualistic heaven or hell, but as a continuation in the spirit world, influenced by social status and adherence to tradition. In contrast, Catholic teachings define heaven and hell as outcomes of humanity's relationship with God. The inculturation process highlights a dialogue between cultural values and Christian faith, demonstrating that integrating local cultural values into PAK can enhance students' faith experience, making learning more relevant and transformative within their contexts.

Income inequality remains a fundamental challenge in regional economic development after the implementation of regional autonomy. This study aims to analyze the effect of fiscal decentralization policies, as measured by the variables of Local Government Revenue (LGR) and the Balancing Fund, on income inequality in 14 regencies/cities in West Kalimantan Province. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with panel data for the period 2015–2024. The data analysis technique used is panel data regression with a natural logarithm model. The results of the study show that LGR has a positive and significant influence on income inequality, which indicates that increasing regional fiscal independence actually tends to widen income disparity. Conversely, the Balancing Fund is proven to have a negative and significant effect, confirming its effective role as a redistribution instrument in reducing interregional inequality. Simultaneously, both fiscal instruments have a significant impact on the Gini ratio.

The advancement of financial technology has resulted in the creation of electronic wallets that serve not only as payment instruments but also as platforms for electronic transactions and digital loan services. This situation engenders a conflict between the implementation and the prevailing regulation, specifically Bank Indonesia Regulation Number 18/40/PBI/2016 regarding Payment Transaction Processing, which raises concerns about legal certainty and user protection, particularly in relation to the delineation of supervisory authority between Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority. This research aims to elucidate the regulation of electronic wallets in terms of legal clarity, legal protection, and oversight by the Financial Services Authority and Bank Indonesia concerning the adoption of electronic wallets. This study employs a normative legal methodology. Data is derived from secondary sources, encompassing primary, secondary, and tertiary legal literature. This study employs both a legislative and a conceptual methodology. The research findings suggest that the regulation of electronic wallets, as per Bank Indonesia Regulation, has not entirely met user requirements. Bank Indonesia Regulation Number 18/40/PBI/2016, on the Implementation of Payment Transaction Processing, does not explicitly address legal certainty and legal protection for users who deposit funds or utilise digital loan services on electronic wallets. This situation establishes a disparity between regulatory implementation and governing rules, which may result in insufficient oversight of electronic wallet operations and a discord of authority between Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority regarding the supervision of financial transactions in Indonesia.

Inequality in Indonesia remains significant, particularly due to the concentration of wealth among high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). Emphasizing the importance of addressing this disparity can motivate policymakers to pursue equitable solutions, thereby promoting social justice through wealth taxation. Using a literature review and an empirical legal approach, this research analyzes relevant regulations, policy discussions, and academic literature on wealth taxation in Indonesia. The study also evaluates institutional readiness and potential challenges in implementing such a policy. The results indicate that the wealth tax has considerable revenue potential, ranging from IDR 54 trillion to IDR 155.3 trillion, depending on the tax model applied. Highlighting this potential can empower policymakers and foster optimism about the tangible benefits of implementing such a policy.

This study analyzes the implementation of Pohuwato Regency Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Public Order and Community Peace in addressing prostitution, focusing on the disparity between repressive and rehabilitative approaches; the background of the research is based on the gap between normative provisions and implementation reality, characterized by an increase in raids without a corresponding decline in prostitution practices. The research aims to examine the normative position of the regional regulation within the legal hierarchy and to evaluate the effectiveness of law enforcement in the field; the method employed is empirical legal research (socio-legal research) through in-depth interviews, observation, and secondary data analysis. The findings reveal that, normatively, the regional regulation potentially conflicts with the hierarchy of laws and regulations due to the imposition of detention sanctions without judicial oversight mechanisms, while implementation-wise, law enforcement only targets sex workers through a repressive approach without adequate social rehabilitation and economic empowerment programs. The implications of this study underscore the necessity of revising the regional regulation to align with the supremacy of law and integrating a rehabilitative approach into a more comprehensive and equitable prostitution prevention policy.

In general, infrastructure development requires materials from nature and one of them is natural coarse aggregate of crushed stone. The rapid development of infrastructure in Indonesia has resulted in the depletion of the natural coarse aggregate. Therefore, other efforts are needed in terms of using coarse aggregate as a construction material. So in this study the aim is to make artificial coarse aggregate made from fly ash. The results showed that this artificial coarse aggregate met the requirements of the General Specifications of Bina Marga 2010 rev 3 as a construction material, namely for an abrasion value of 40% and water absorption of 3%. In this study, 5 types of comparisons were carried out, namely, 70:30%, 60:40%, 50:50%, 40:60%, 30:70 and for the type of composition comparison 70:30% (70% fly ash:30% cement). ) the abrasion value is still below 40%, and the amount of water absorption is below 3% so that this artificial coarse aggregate still meets the standard specifications of General Highways 2010 rev 3. Based on the price comparison that has been made between artificial coarse aggregate and natural coarse aggregate of crushed stone , shows a price disparity of Rp. 35,779 - Rp. 58,779. Thus, this artificial coarse aggregate is one solution that can be developed to reduce the environmental impact due to the presence of fly ash which is quite abundant in Indonesia.

This study identified the use of abbreviations in Medical Treatment Consent Forms (SPTK) at X Hospital Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional descriptive approach was applied to 76 SPTKs in September 2024, and questionnaires were administered to 30 patient-responsible physicians (DPJP). The results showed that 75% of SPTKs contained abbreviations, even though 97% of respondents understood the risk of miscommunication to patient safety. The state of the art includes accreditation standards that prohibit the use of abbreviations in informed consent, with global orthopedic studies reporting a decrease from 54% to 22% after educational interventions, as well as Indonesian regulations, namely Peraturan Mentri Kesehatan (Permenkes) Republik Indonesia No. 24/2022, which emphasizes that medical records must be complete. The novelty lies in the first empirical analysis in Indonesian hospitals to reveal the disparity between high physician knowledge and low documentation compliance, contributing to the development of evidence-based monitoring for patient safety. These findings support recommendations for daily review of SPTK, ongoing socialization, and integration of digital checklists to reduce medical errors.

Depth perception is a crucial visual ability for humans to judge distance and understand three-dimensional space. However, the brain's distance estimation is not always accurate and is often influenced by external factors such as color. This study aims to examine in depth how orange color influences the acuity of human depth perception. The method applied is a Systematic Literature Review (TLS) by examining 8 research papers from repository data from Google Scholar and ScienceDirect databases ranging from 2007 to 2025. The results show that orange, as part of the warm color spectrum with a long wavelength, significantly creates an advancing color effect that makes objects perceived as closer than cool colors. The main findings reveal that orange provides superior visual acuity in low-light conditions and has a wide stereoscopic disparity range to help the brain map space. In conclusion, the color orange functions as an effective additional visual cue in strengthening spatial perception. The implications of this research are highly relevant for the development of Augmented Reality (AR) technology and visual safety design, where the use of orange can minimize distance estimation errors by users

Gender inequality in terms of safety in public spaces is a crucial issue in Indonesia. This research background is driven by the high rate of violence against women, reaching 330,079 cases in 2024, and reinforced by a patriarchal culture that perpetuates gender hierarchy. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach to analyze the root causes and impacts of gender inequality on women's sense of security in public spaces. The results indicate that the disparity manifests in various dimensions, such as women-unfriendly urban infrastructure (e.g., inadequate lighting), security threats in urban areas, and the high rate of gender-based violence where 80.1% of the victims are women. The discussion reveals that this inequality impacts not only physical safety but also psychological well-being, economic security, and access to public spaces. This research concludes that a multidimensional approach encompassing infrastructure improvement, strengthening legal protection, changing social norms, and economic empowerment is required to create an inclusive, equitable, and safe public environment for all genders.

Examining how well college students grasp the concept of gender equality is the primary goal of this research. In order to achieve social justice and provide equal opportunity for all people, regardless of their gender, gender equality must be upheld. But there are still attitudes and actions that show gender disparity in the classroom. Students from different academic programs filled out questionnaires that were part of a descriptive quantitative research. The majority of pupils had a solid grasp of gender equality or its significance in the classroom, according to the data. Nevertheless, several respondents did not provide very detailed assessments of campus initiatives promoting gender equality.

Per capita expenditure is an important indicator of household welfare because it reflects the economic capacity and consumption patterns of the community, as explained in Engel's Law. In regions with diverse geographical characteristics such as Papua Province, spatial analysis is needed to understand the variations in expenditure between districts/cities and the differences between urban and rural areas. This study aims to analyze the spatial distribution of per capita expenditure percentages for food and non-food items in nine districts/cities in Papua Province during the 2022–2024 period. The research data was sourced from the National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas). The methods used included quantile-based choropleth mapping using QGIS, attribute data merging through table joins, and Pearson's correlation test to evaluate the consistency of spending patterns between years. The analysis results show that food and non-food spending patterns were relatively stable during the observation period with high correlation values (r = 0,85–0,93), although spatial variations between regions were still apparent. Mamberamo Raya Regency consistently had the highest proportion of food spending (>68%), while Jayapura City showed the lowest proportion. These findings indicate spatial disparities related to urbanization levels and economic access. Spatial visualization proved effective in revealing regional disparity patterns that were not fully apparent through conventional statistical tables and has the potential to support the formulation of more evidence-based regional development policies.  

The UNAMA Library employs information systems to enhance its academic services. Nevertheless, its administrative framework continues to encounter obstacles, such as inadequate service system support for users, constrained resources allocated for the management and upkeep of the system, an absence of standardized protocols for addressing technical challenges, and insufficient assessment system efficacy. If these issues remain unaddressed, the operational effectiveness of the library information system will be compromised, thereby thwarting the objective of delivering dependable information services. This investigation seeks to illuminate the maturity level of information system governance as delineated by COBIT 2019 within the Decision Support Systems (DSS) domain, specifically focusing on the DSS01 (Manage Operations) and DSS02 (Manage Service Requests and Incidents) processes. The findings suggest that the degree of information system governance capability the UNAMA Library is situated at the Established Process level (level 3), signifying that the process has undergone implementation; however, it has yet to be comprehensively documented and consistently evaluated. Moreover, a disparity persists between the existing state and the anticipated capability level of the organization, particularly concerning IT operations management, the standardization incident handling, and the documentation of operational procedures. An elucidation of the expected level is articulated, especially in terms of operational standards, incident documentation, and IT infrastructure oversight. Recommendations encompass the formulation of standard operating procedures (SOPs), the enhancement of documentation practices, and periodic assessments grounded in COBIT 2019. These findings are anticipated to assist libraries in augmenting the efficacy of information systems governance and the quality of IT services.

The purpose of writing this paper is to find out the role of sea toll ships in supporting logistics distribution in disadvantaged areas by PT. Subsea Lintas Globalindo Tanjung Perak Surabaya branch. The methods used in data collection are the field method through observation, as well as the library research method, to understand the extent of the sea toll ship operated by PT. Subsea Lintas Globalindo Tanjung Perak Surabaya Branch contributes to smoothing the flow of logistics distribution to disadvantaged areas, especially in Eastern Indonesia. The results of the study show that sea toll ships play a strategic role in reducing the disparity in the price of goods, increasing logistics accessibility, and supporting equitable development and economic growth in remote areas. The obstacles faced include uncertain weather factors, limited port infrastructure, and coordination that still needs to be strengthened between related institutions. Therefore, better synergy is needed between the government, ship operators, and other stakeholders, including the private sector and local communities, to optimize the benefits of the sea toll program in a sustainable manner, improve distribution efficiency, and support equitable distribution of welfare throughout Indonesia.

The SIUBER Information System is a vital instrument in supporting academic activities at universities. However, technical challenges such as unstable access are frequently complained about by users. This study aims to evaluate the quality of the SIUBER website using two approaches: Black Box Testing to validate technical functions and the System Usability Scale (SUS) to measure user satisfaction. Data was collected from 20 active user respondents. Black Box testing results indicated that functional features functioned 100% effectively, but stability issues were found under high access loads. The usability measurement results yielded an average conversion score of 62.5 (Acceptable Category - Grade D). In-depth analysis revealed a disparity: the interface design score was very high (3.89/5), while the stability score was very low (2.63/5). This study concluded that the primary issue with SIUBER was not the interface, but rather the server infrastructure, recommending hardware improvements as a top priority

The Independent Curriculum aims to provide flexible, student-centered learning that is oriented toward strengthening character through the Pancasila Student Profile. However, a literature review indicates that its implementation in elementary schools still faces various obstacles. Teachers' understanding of differentiated learning, the P5 project, and authentic assessment is uneven, while limited infrastructure and the complexity of developing teaching materials also hamper its implementation. Furthermore, student readiness and a supportive learning environment also influence the curriculum's effectiveness. These findings emphasize the need to improve teacher competency, ensure equitable distribution of facilities, and collaborate among stakeholders for optimal implementation of the Independent Curriculum. Furthermore, the disparity in the quality of implementation across schools is also a major challenge, particularly in remote areas with limited facilities. Therefore, supportive policies and intensive mentoring for teachers are needed to ensure that this curriculum is effective and provides maximum benefits for students, optimizing character development and 21st-century skills. Overall, the success of the Independent Curriculum depends heavily on solid collaboration between all relevant parties, including teachers, schools, parents, and education policymakers.
