The floods that struck Medan City between late November and early December 2025 significantly affected the psychosocial wellbeing of children aged 4–7 years living in evacuation shelters. Children in this developmental stage are highly vulnerable to stress, anxiety, and behavioral changes following disaster exposure. This community service program aimed to implement an Integrated Psychosocial Support Model designed to promote emotional recovery among children and strengthen the capacities of parents and shelter facilitators. The methods included play-based psychosocial activities, safe digital literacy education, parental engagement sessions, and capacity-building for local volunteers. The intervention was conducted at two evacuation shelters in Medan Labuhan and Belawan, involving approximately 220 children. The results demonstrated substantial improvements in adaptive behavior indicators—group participation, ability to follow instructions, positive emotional expression, and peer interaction—with an average increase of 1.25 points. Social transformations also emerged, including the establishment of child-friendly spaces, enhanced supportive parenting practices, and the rise of local leaders within the community. These findings indicate that integrated psychosocial support is an effective approach for post-disaster child recovery and can be replicated in similar humanitarian settings.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the strategic role of air transportation management in Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW), particularly in archipelagic contexts such as Indonesia, where rapid humanitarian response, territorial surveillance, and civil–military cooperation are essential for resilience. By applying a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), this article synthesizes findings on humanitarian logistics, technological transformation, and policy frameworks for strengthening national defense readiness. Design/methodology/approach – This study employs a qualitative Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology guided by PRISMA principles, analyzing 30 scholarly contributions from 2009–2025, including international peer-reviewed journals, Routledge and Springer volumes, arXiv preprints, and Indonesian academic publications.Results highlight that strategic air  transportation is indispensable for disaster relief, medical evacuation, and supply delivery in archipelagic nations. The adoption of AI, machine learning, UAVs, and reinforcement learning has enhanced responsiveness and equity in humanitarian supply chains. However, persistent challenges include aging fleets, interoperability constraints, and fragmented civil–military coordination. The study underscores the need for modernization of air assets, institutionalized civil–military collaboration, and integration of AI-based routing and command systems. Strengthening these aspects can enhance Indonesia’s resilience and preparedness in MOOTW scenarios. This article uniquely bridges global research on data-driven air power with Indonesian defense perspectives, proposing a scalable strategic framework for air transportation management that advances archipelagic resilience.

This research analyzes the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health (K3/OSH) in the automation project of the Vacuum Pan machine at a sugar factory in Indonesia. The Vacuum Pan machine automation project poses high potential hazards due to its involvement with electrical systems, high-pressure pipes, and the installation of electrical and automatic control systems. The research methods used were daily direct observation in the field and interviews with the factory's safety (EHS) personnel, project workers, and interns for one month, from July 7 to August 8, 2025. The results show that K3 planning, such as the availability of HIRADC documents, SOPs, Safety Plans, and K3 facilities (APAR, evacuation routes, safety signs), has been well-implemented and adheres to applicable standards. K3 supervision activities include Safety Inspection (routine twice a week), Safety Patrol (daily and spontaneous), and Safety Talk or Toolbox Meeting (routine every Wednesday). However, the aspect requiring improvement is worker discipline, particularly in the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), which were recorded at compliance frequencies of 65% and 60%, respectively. Workers' response to hazardous situations was also found to be less responsive (50%). In conclusion, while K3 planning and facilities are adequate, the overall K3 implementation needs to be optimized through increased supervision and the establishment of a disciplined culture regarding PPE and SOPs.

This research aims to identify potential hazards and assess the level of fire risk in a textile company located in Sukoharjo Regency using the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) method. The research background is based on the high fire hazard potential in the textile industry due to the use of flammable chemicals, high operating temperatures, and the accumulation of combustible fibers and textile dust. A descriptive research approach was applied through field observations, interviews with workers and the OHS team, and technical document analysis. The results showed that the highest risk levels were found in the dyeing process, electrical panel room, and machine maintenance activities (welding/repair), with risk scores reaching 20 (high category). The main contributing factors included non-standard electrical installations, poor ventilation, and unsafe work behavior. Risk control strategies are recommended through technical, administrative, and behavioral approaches, including smoke detection systems, routine evacuation training, and the reinforcement of safety culture. The implementation of these measures is expected to improve the effectiveness of occupational health and safety management systems and reduce the potential for fire incidents in the textile industry.

Colitis is an inflammatory characterized by thickening of the mucosal wall of the colon. The Colon In Loop examination is one of the diagnostic procedures for colitis, utilizing contrast media to assess the functional condition of the colon. At the Radiology Installation of RSUD (Regional General Hospital) Banyumas, the radiological procedure for Colon In Loop was performed on post-colostomy patients, thus differs from previous studies. This study aims to identify the examination procedure of Colon In Loop at RSUD Banyumas, the rationale for using Anteroposterior (AP) and Lateral projections, and the reason for not performing evacuation before the administration of negative contrast media. This qualitative descriptive study employed a case. The subjects included three radiographers, one radiology nurse, and one radiology specialist. The object of study was the Colon In Loop Post Colostomy examination procedure in colitis cases. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation. Data analysis involved data reduction and data presentation. confirmed with theory, and narrative presentation leading to conclusions. Result shows contrast media consisting of 250 grams of barium sulfate dissolved in 1000 ml of water (25% w/v). The examination is performed in stages followed by AP and Lateral projection imaging to evaluate contrast distribution in the colon. Negative contrast media administration is performed without prior evacuation to enhance patient comfort and reduce examination time. When administering negative contrast media, evacuation is not performed before air is introduced. This is done based on the patient's condition, to shorten the examination time, and due to considerations regarding the quality of barium sulfate; thus, evacuation could impair barium adherence to the colon mucosa. In conclusion, AP and lateral projections are considered adequate for establishing a diagnosis of colitis. The omission of evacuation is based on patient condition, time efficiency, and the suboptimal quality of barium. It is recommended to perform evacuation and increase barium concentration to improve adherence to the colon mucosal wall.

Kaloran Village is an area characterized by steep slope topography that makes it vulnerable to landslides, especially during the rainy season with high rainfall intensity. Although the landslide risk level in this village is still relatively low and has never caused any casualties, the potential for material losses and psychosocial impacts that may arise still need to be seriously anticipated. Disaster risk reduction efforts in Kaloran Village are carried out through the Disaster Resilient Village Work Program (Destana), which aims to increase the capacity and capability of the community in facing disaster threats. The program implementation method consists of three main stages: preparation through focus group discussions (FGDs) and interviews with stakeholders, preparation of the Destana document containing mitigation strategies and steps, and community empowerment through socialization activities and preparedness training. The results of the study indicate that Kaloran Village is categorized as a Medium Resilient Village with a resilience score of 68.97. This achievement serves as an important basis for strengthening the village preparedness system, which is followed up with the establishment of the Disaster Risk Reduction Forum (FPRB) "Kaloran Tangguh Rescue" as a community coordination forum. In addition, evacuation route maps were produced, which serve as technical guidance in the event of a disaster, and the development of the Destana (Disaster Preparedness and Disaster Management) and Contingency Plan (Renkon) documents, which serve as official guidelines for disaster mitigation and management efforts at the village level. This program demonstrates that active community participation, collaboration between stakeholders, and the development of strategic documents can strengthen village preparedness for the threat of landslides.

This study examines disaster mitigation efforts in minimizing disaster risk in Manado City and identifies the key challenges as well as the strategies implemented by the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD: Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah). Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, direct observations, and document analysis, with the Head of BPBD serving as the primary informant. The analysis was conducted using Miles et al.’s (2014) interactive model, which consists of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, thereby ensuring systematic interpretation of findings.The results indicate that disaster mitigation efforts in Manado consist of both passive and active strategies. Passive measures include strengthening institutional frameworks, enhancing governance capacity, integrating disaster management planning into regional development programs, and advancing education and research to support long-term disaster risk reduction. In contrast, active mitigation emphasizes community-based actions, such as the installation of disaster warning signs, the provision of basic disaster training for officials and volunteers, the establishment of temporary evacuation shelters, and the implementation of both structural interventions (e.g., drainage construction, flood control) and non-structural measures (e.g., socialization, counseling, and public campaigns). Despite these initiatives, several challenges persist. Limited public awareness, inadequate infrastructure and facilities, a shortage of skilled human resources, weak planning and socialization, complex disaster causes, and environmental vulnerabilities all reduce the overall effectiveness of disaster risk reduction efforts. To address these obstacles, BPBD Manado fosters collaboration with various stakeholders, including government institutions, academia, non-governmental organizations, and local community groups. Moreover, the agency emphasizes the use of disaster risk assessments and hazard mapping as evidence-based foundations for policy formulation and implementation.

This research was conducted from June to July 2025 in Binjai City, with the primary focus being analyzing the readiness of the Binjai City Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) to implement a flood early warning system utilizing artificial intelligence (AI). The data collection process was conducted through a literature review, which involved reviewing various theories and previous research results regarding the application of AI and Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the context of disaster mitigation. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the use of technologies such as ultrasonic sensors, microcontrollers, fuzzy logic, and automatic notification systems can provide real-time warnings with a high level of accuracy and a fast response. This system enables early detection of rising river levels through automatic measurements, intelligent data processing, and sending notifications to authorities and affected communities within seconds. By integrating historical data and machine learning-based predictions, this system is also able to depict potential flooding before it occurs, providing a longer response time for evacuation. However, the readiness of the Binjai City BPBD still faces various challenges, such as limited digital infrastructure, the need for human resource training in the technology field, and inadequate budget allocation. Therefore, cross-sector collaboration and ongoing policy support are needed for optimal implementation of this system. The use of AI and IoT in early warning systems is not only technically relevant but also urgent in the face of increasing climate change and flood risks. A strategy involving cross-sector collaboration between government, academia, and the private sector is needed to develop an adaptive and sustainable early warning system.

A landslide disaster is a life-threatening event that can result in loss of life, environmental damage, and property loss, so it is necessary to have self-evacuation capabilities. Self-evacuation capabilities can be improved with the DEMASI method (Video Animation and Simulation). The aim of this research is to determine the effect of DEMASI (Video Animation and Simulation) on the ability to self-evacuate landslides in class X students at SMA Negeri 1 Dongko. Pre-experimental design research design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach without control. The purposive sampling technique obtained 34 respondents from 170 populations. The research instrument used an observation sheet on self-evacuation capabilities for landslide disasters. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test statistical test with α 0.05. The results of the research before being given DEMASI intervention (Video Animation and Simulation) were that all (100%) respondents had poor abilities, and after the intervention almost all (85.3%) respondents had good abilities. Results: The statistical analysis showed that the p-value was 0.000 < α 0.05, so there was an influence of DEMASI (Video Animation and Simulation) on students' self-evacuation ability for landslide disasters. The DEMASI method (Video Animation and Simulation) combines two methods that are more interesting, effective, and interactive because audiovisuals recorded by optic and auditory nerves are sent to the occipital lobe and temporal lobe to be described and processed, which involves many brain regions and the frontal lobe so that they can influence the respondent's abilities. The DEMASI method can be used as an educational medium for students and other school residents in an effort to improve their ability to self-evacuate in landslide disasters.

This study aims to assess the feasibility of facilities and infrastructure at the Dok IX Flats (Rumah Susun) located in Tanjung Ria Sub-district, North Jayapura District, Jayapura City, based on the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 03-1733-2004, as well as residents’ perceptions. The research uses a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Data were collected through field observations and questionnaires distributed to 43 respondents using the Likert scale. The results show that, in general, the housing complex is considered feasible, with an average score of 70 or 76.1%. Facilities such as education, health, worship, green open space, road access, and drainage are considered adequate. However, inconsistencies were found in the disaster mitigation system. Although categorized as "Feasible," field observations revealed damaged evacuation routes and the absence of essential firefighting equipment (APAR). In conclusion, the Dok IX Flats are generally suitable for habitation, but urgent improvements are needed, particularly in the disaster mitigation aspect, to ensure the safety and comfort of the residents.

Disaster preparedness and response are critical components of community health resilience, yet the role of homecare nursing within this framework remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate and synthesize existing research on how homecare nurses contribute to disaster management, with a focus on preparedness and response phases. Employing a systematic literature review (SLR) approach based on the PRISMA 2020 methodology, 38 peer-reviewed articles from major databases were analyzed thematically. Key findings reveal that homecare nurses play significant roles in early warning communication, individualized evacuation planning, and continuity of care post-disaster, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and chronically ill. However, evidence also indicates substantial gaps in training, policy inclusion, and structural integration into national disaster response systems. Thematic synthesis identified three dominant themes: decentralized preparedness, home-based continuity care, and systemic underrecognition of homecare in emergency frameworks. The study concludes that homecare nursing is a strategic yet underutilized asset in disaster risk reduction and recovery efforts. Strengthening policy, competency frameworks, and formal inclusion of homecare in disaster governance are necessary to enhance community resilience globally.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest infectious diseases that has existed throughout the history of human civilization and remains a major public health problem in the world today. Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis which can result in TB Pleuritis, which is inflammation of the pleura, both the parietal pleura and the visceral pleura, manifested by accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity. A 20-year-old man came with complaints of coughing for the past 1 month, white phlegm, shortness of breath felt worse for the past 2 days, fever not too high for the past 1 week accompanied by cold sweats at night. The patient feels that it is difficult to gain weight and tends to lose weight this month. Chest X-ray show left massive pleural effusion. Acid fast baccili sputum was negative. USG Thorax show pleural fluids approximately 1600 cc.  Tuberculosis (TB) can cause TB pleutiritis with symptoms of shortness of breath and sometimes chest pain on the side of the pleural cavity where there is fluid.3 Treatment of TB Pleuritis is the same as the treatment of pulmonary TB in general with the 2RHZE/4RH combination. Optimal fluid evacuation is carried out according to the patient's condition.

Teachers have a key role in ensuring the safety of students during disasters, however, to carry out this role effectively, they need a deep understanding of disaster inclusive risk reduction education. Early age students are the group most at risk in disasters. Inclusive disaster preparedness education training for teachers aims to increase teacher competence in designing inclusive learning programs related to disaster preparedness in schools. Through participatory methods with an andragogy approach, teachers are trained to develop individual learning programs and develop learning tools that are responsive to students' needs. The training also includes the preparation of inclusive earthquake simulation scenarios, where participants learn to design safe and accessible evacuation routes and respond to various types of student needs. The results of this activity show a significant increase in teachers' understanding and skills regarding inclusive disaster preparedness, as evidenced by the learning tool products produced during the training. The importance of continuous training and collaboration with various stakeholders to strengthen disaster preparedness in schools

The Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA), while effective in solving complex optimization problems, faces limitations in random population initialization and reliance on fixed parameters. Random initialization of the population often results in clustered solutions, resulting in uneven exploration of the search space and hindering effective global optimization. Furthermore, the use of fixed values for discovery rate and step size creates a trade-off between solution accuracy and convergence speed. To address these limitations, an Enhanced Cuckoo Search Algorithm (ECSA) is proposed. This algorithm utilizes the Sobol Sequence to generate a more uniformly distributed initial population and incorporates Cosine Annealing with Warm Restarts to dynamically adjust the parameters. The performance of the algorithms was evaluated on 13 benchmark functions (7 unimodal, 6 multimodal). Statistical analyses were conducted to determine the significance and consistency of the results. The ECSA outperforms the CSA in 11 out of 13 benchmark functions with a mean fitness improvement of 30% across all functions, achieving 35% for unimodal functions and 24% for multimodal functions. The enhanced algorithm demonstrated increased convergence efficiency, indicating its superiority to the CSA in solving a variety of optimization problems. The ECSA is subsequently applied to optimize earthquake evacuation space allocation in Intramuros, Manila.
