The circulation of illegal cigarettes in Kudus Regency remains a serious problem that is detrimental to the state and disrupts a healthy business competition climate. This study aims to analyze the forms and mechanisms of law enforcement by the Kudus Customs and Excise Supervision and Service Office against these violations based on Law Number 39 of 2007 concerning Excise, and to identify inhibiting factors in its implementation. The research method used is an empirical juridical approach with a qualitative descriptive research type through interviews with officials of the Kudus Customs and Excise Supervision and Service Office and a literature study of related documents and regulations. The circulation of illegal cigarettes is still found in various forms of violations, with plain cigarettes without excise stamps being the most frequently found type. The resulting impacts include reduced state revenue, disrupted competitiveness of the legal cigarette industry, and low levels of public legal compliance. In its implementation, the Kudus Customs and Excise Supervision and Service Office faces obstacles in the form of limited personnel and facilities, difficulties in location searches, and low public legal awareness. This research is expected to contribute to increasing the effectiveness of law enforcement in the excise sector and support efforts to eradicate the circulation of illegal cigarettes in Indonesia

Abstract. This study aims to examine the causes, forms, and strategies for combating violence against female Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) from a legal, sociological, and gender perspective. The background of this research is based on the vulnerability of female PMI to various forms of physical, psychological, sexual, and economic violence, which occurs from the pre-placement stage to the post-placement stage, as well as the long-term impact on mental health, human rights, and socio-economic reintegration. The method used is empirical legal with primary data collection through in-depth interviews with female PMI victims of violence and accompanying institutions, as well as secondary data in the form of literature reviews, laws and regulations, and scientific publications. The analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative methods, integrating human rights theory, Feminist Legal Theory, and international migration policy. The results of the study show that the vulnerability of female migrant workers is caused by economic factors, education, patriarchal culture, non-transparent recruitment processes, the characteristics of work in the informal sector, power imbalances with employers, and weak legal protection in the destination country. The forms of violence experienced include beatings, sexual harassment, threats, social isolation, wage withholding, and structural exploitation practices. Protection efforts implemented include preventive approaches through training, legal education, legal document guarantees, and assistance from law enforcement agencies, as well as repressive approaches through action against perpetrators of violence and bilateral cooperation with destination countries. This study emphasizes the importance of comprehensive and sustainable protection for female Indonesian migrant workers, covering all stages of labor migration as well as strengthening digital-based monitoring systems, officer capacity, and cross-sector collaboration to ensure the safety, dignity, and fulfillment of the human rights of female Indonesian migrant workers.  

The air quality index in Depok City has declined over the past three years based on data from the Depok City Environmental Agency. In response to this condition, the Depok City Government implemented a Car Free Day (CFD) policy every Sunday along Jalan Margonda Raya. The CFD program aims to improve environmental quality and air conditions while encouraging public participation in healthy activities. The success of this policy depends on how effectively information regarding the rules and objectives of CFD is disseminated to the public by the Depok City Government Public Relations Office. This study aims to analyze the communication strategy employed by the Depok City Government Public Relations Office in disseminating the Car Free Day policy and to identify obstacles encountered during the dissemination process. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach through media monitoring, direct observation, and analysis of government documents.

Human resource development is the process of preparing individuals to take on higher or different responsibilities within an organization, including enhancing intellectual abilities to support efficient task performance. This study aims to determine the extent to which human resource development contributes to improved employee performance at the East Lombok Regency Health Office. The qualitative, descriptive approach involved eight informants, consisting of officials familiar with the implementation of human resource development and staff who had participated in the program. The results indicate that education and training conducted by the East Lombok Regency Health Office have supported improved employee performance, as evidenced by more structured task implementation, public health monitoring surveys, and a decrease in maternal and infant mortality rates. However, in terms of human resource management, there are still shortcomings, with an average of 28 health workers per health facility, both civil servants and non-civil servants, reflecting an imbalance in workforce needs. Furthermore, the implementation of human resource development is supported by leadership commitment, inter-agency collaboration, and budget support from the provincial and central governments. However, it is hampered by limited qualified personnel, frequent policy changes, and the impact of natural disasters.

The background of this research is based on Cervical cancer, a disease that poses a serious threat to women's health in Indonesia. Early detection through prevention programs such as IVA (Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid) is a crucial step in reducing the number of cervical cancer cases. In this effort, an effective communication strategy from the Pasar Minggu District Health Center plays a very important role. This study focuses on the prevention program and communication strategies implemented at the Pasar Minggu District Health Center. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive study method. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews with Health Center officers, observations of socialization activities, and documentation. The results show that the communication strategies implemented by the Pasar Minggu District Health Center include informative, educational, and persuasive communication strategies. The Health Center utilizes various communication channels such as social media and direct counseling. Obstacles faced include low levels of public health literacy, stigma against IVA examinations, and limited human resources.

The Child Identity Card (KIA) is an official document issued to children aged 0–17 years as a form of early recognition and protection of legal identity. The issuance of the KIA aims to support orderly population administration, facilitate access to public services, and strengthen child protection in various social, educational, and health aspects. In Bintan Regency, this policy has been implemented since 2017 and was reinforced through Regent Regulation No. 6 of 2022. However, in 2024, the KIA ownership rate only reached 53.48%, the lowest figure in the Riau Islands Province. This figure indicates a serious gap between policy and implementation in the field. In fact, the Bintan Regency Population and Civil Registration Office's Work Plan (Renja) set the KIA ownership target for 2024 at 65%, with the final realization being only 62%. This study aims to examine the factors influencing the low KIA ownership rate. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Informants consisted of Disdukcapil officials and the community as service recipients. The implementation model used was Merilee S. Grindle's theory, which emphasizes six critical variables in policy success, including resources, communication, and implementer characteristics. The results of the study indicate that despite an increase in demand for KIA due to administrative requirements in education services, BPJS, and social programs, significant obstacles remain. These obstacles include limited outreach, a lack of service infrastructure in coastal and remote areas, and technical constraints such as a suboptimal online system. Therefore, acceleration strategies are needed, such as increasing the intensity of cross-sector outreach, integrating KIA services into integrated health post (Posyandu) and school programs, adding mobile services, and training local human resources.  

E-Puskesmas is a solution to problems caused by manual systems. It was created to streamline the method of reporting data to the Health Office and digitize the process of providing health services to the community at the Puskesmas. In addition, the online reporting system facilitates the dissemination of information effectively and efficiently. This study aims to determine the impact of using E-Puskesmas in improving the effectiveness of health services at the Pancur Community Health Center in Tanjungpinang City. The research method used is descriptive research with a qualitative approach conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of E-Puskesmas has brought significant improvements in managing patient data, appointment scheduling, and reporting processes to the Health Office. Health workers find the system beneficial for storing accurate data, reducing paperwork, and enabling faster coordination with other health facilities. However, the use of the system is still hampered by unstable or slow internet or Wi-Fi networks, which often delay data input and retrieval during busy operational hours. This issue not only reduces efficiency but also causes frustration among staff who rely on the system for daily activities. The conclusion of this study highlights that the use of E-Puskesmas is effective in supporting digital health services but remains suboptimal due to technical challenges. Improving internet connectivity is critical to ensuring seamless operation and maximizing the benefits of the system. The study recommends that the local government and relevant stakeholders enhance the quality of network infrastructure and provide regular technical support and training for Puskesmas staff. By addressing these challenges, the Pancur Community Health Center can improve the stability of its operations and ensure that the E-Puskesmas application delivers optimal results in supporting high-quality, efficient, and technology-driven health services for the community.

Legal protection of personal health data amidst the rapid digitalization of health services, such as telemedicine, electronic medical records, and online consultation applications is very important. Sensitive health data requires careful management, but in fact, many digital service providers in Indonesia have not implemented adequate security standards. The case of the BPJS Kesehatan participant data leak is a real example of the weakness of the data protection system, coupled with the practice of data misuse by digital platforms without valid consent. The method used is qualitative with a normative legal approach, through a literature study of primary and secondary regulations such as Law No. 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (UU PDP), the ITE Law, and related Government Regulations and Permenkes. The results of the study show that although regulations are comprehensively available, implementation in the field still faces serious challenges such as the lack of appointment of Data Protection Officers (DPOs), weak supervision, and low awareness of data protection. Real threats such as cyber attacks, data leaks due to negligence, and misuse by third parties are the main issues. Electronic system providers have a great responsibility in building an information security system, preparing privacy policies, and implementing the principle of "privacy by design".  

Registration counter services as the main gateway for patient interaction with hospitals play a crucial role in shaping public perception of the quality of health services. However, Kaimana Hospital faces challenges such as long queues, limited physical facilities, and reliance on coordination between units, which have the potential to reduce patient satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the gap between patients' expectations and perceptions of the quality of registration counter services using the SERVQUAL model, focusing on five dimensions: Reliability, Assurance, Tangibles, Empathy, and Responsiveness (responsiveness). The qualitative-descriptive method is applied through direct observation during the workday, semi-structured interviews and analysis of secondary documents. The results of the study showed that officers were considered competent in providing Assurance information  and showed spontaneous empathy for the Empathy vulnerable group. However, the Reliability  dimension is hampered by long queues and reliance on the availability of medical personnel, while Tangibles is limited to physical facilities that are less adaptive during visitor density. Responsiveness is also influenced by fluctuations in the number of patients and coordination between units that are not optimal. The main gap lies in the absence of a digital queuing system, structured inclusive protocols, and standardization of officer competencies. Strategic recommendations include certification-based HR training, integration of digital queue technology, infrastructure optimization, and strengthening operational coordination. This research emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to create an inclusive, efficient, and sustainable service ecosystem, as well as a reference for regional hospitals in improving the quality of services based on the SERVQUAL model.  

The correctional system in Indonesia faces challenges with the increasing number of elderly prisoners with special needs, especially in terms of health, psychology, and social aspects. This study aims to identify adaptation strategies used by elderly prisoners in Tangerang Class I Prison using a qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and documentation analysis. The results showed that elderly prisoners adapt by building social relationships, participating in rehabilitation programs, and relying on support from officers. Psychological factors such as self-acceptance and mental resilience play an important role in this process. However, limited health facilities and the lack of special programs for the elderly are major obstacles. This study is expected to be the basis for developing more inclusive correctional policies to improve the welfare of elderly prisoners during their sentence.      

Quality information services in hospitals is an important element in increasing patient satisfaction and the image of the institution. The Public Relations Officer (PRO) plays a strategic role in managing communication between the hospital and the public. This research aims to explore the strategies implemented by PROs in improving the quality of information services at RSUD dr. Zainoel Abidin Banda Aceh. The public relations officer (PRO) strategy used is determining problems, compiling and planning work programs, taking action and communicating as well as evaluating work programs in hospitals and reviewed through strategic planning in the field of Public Relations by Cutlip-Center-Broom. The research method used was descriptive with a qualitative approach between PROs and several hospital employees, patients and patient families. The results of the investigation revealed that the strategies used by PRO RSUDZA and health services ranged from identifying problems, planning, to compiling work programs, such as online registration, electronic pharmacies (e-pharmacies), and community complaint centers. In addition, PRO RSUDZA deployed staff from the Hospital Health Counseling Service (PKRS) to carry out outreach and communication to inform the public about RSUDZA services and the availability of the RSUDZA tabloid newspaper "Lam Haba". PRO RSUDZA evaluates the work program carried out at the hospital. Obstacles faced by PRO RSUDZA include miscommunication and residents' complaints about long queues at registration and drug distribution counters. PRO RSUDZA's efforts aim to carry out all planned work programs to improve the quality of information services at RSUDZA Banda Aceh.

This study analyzes the evaluation of stunting reduction policies in Kuantan Singingi Regency, Indonesia, using William N. Dunn's policy evaluation theory. Stunting is a serious nutritional problem that impacts children's growth and development, especially in the first 1000 days of life. Although there has been a decrease in stunting prevalence in Riau Province, Kuantan Singingi Regency experienced an increase in stunting rates from 17.8% in 2022 to 23% in 2023, making it the highest in the province. The evaluation was conducted based on five criteria: effectiveness, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The results showed that despite significant efforts in policy implementation, the target for reducing stunting prevalence has not been achieved, with communication between officers and the community still lacking. There is a shortage of skilled personnel and funds, and unequal access to health services. The policy provides a clear framework, but information about the program is still lacking in the community. The assumptions underlying the policy are quite strong, and positive impacts are starting to be seen, but challenges such as lack of training for officers remain. Overall, despite progress, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed to achieve the goal of reducing stunting effectively.

Iskandar Suhardi, Evaluation of Health Protocol Enforcement Performance by Members of the Merdeka Post during the Covid-19 Period by the Palembang City Fire and Disaster Management Service. This study aims to analyze the Performance Evaluation of Health Protocol Enforcement by Members of the Merdeka Post during the Covid-19 Period by the Palembang City Fire and Disaster Management Service. The study used qualitative methods with data collection techniques, namely observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study show that in the application of the health protocol itself in a combined unit of several elements and agencies, it has several weaknesses, first from the community side who really underestimates the Corona virus, then from the officers themselves there is still minimal knowledge in providing education about the importance of complying with health protocol. The enforcement of health protocols did not go as expected, based on the health protocol policy itself, because there were several aspects, where in fact not all people believed in the existence of the corona virus, some even said that this corona was just a political conspiracy and the like, so that officers had difficulty in enforcement of health protocols. In 2020-2021 the health protocol policy is going quite well, people still have fear and vigilance about the spread of the corona virus, but in the course of time and being supported by people who have been vaccinated 1 and 2, it makes people feel safer, so that strict adherence to simple wearing a mask is no longer obeyed, not to mention other things such as washing hands and so on. The implementation of this health protocol policy has many obstacles and the weak side is public awareness and the pros and cons regarding the presence or absence of the corona virus, so that some people do not obey the applicable rules, and this makes it difficult for officers to carry out the policies that have been determined. So in this case the officer must have the right technique or method so that the implementation process can be easier.
