Marriage at an early age remains widespread, especially among communities with limited education and financial resources. This study aims to analyze the impact of early marriage on harmony in household life. The research model we employed was a library research design. The approach used was descriptive qualitative through literature review, referring to scholarly sources and secondary data from reputable journals published in the last five years. Findings indicate that the mental unreadiness of both parties (husband and wife) who marry at an early age can lead to instability in household life and increase the risk of marital failure or reduced family harmony. Young couples commonly face challenges in maintaining healthy communication, making joint decisions, and coping with financial pressures, all of which contribute to domestic conflict. In addition, emotional immaturity and limited life experience are also primary causes of disharmony within the family. Therefore, there is a need to improve education and public awareness about the importance of age maturity and mental readiness before marriage in order to create stable and harmonious households. Thus, it is necessary to increase education and public awareness about the importance of age maturity and mental readiness before marriage, in order to create a stable and harmonious household.

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.

The increase in medical disputes in Indonesia occurs along with the development of health services and increasing public legal awareness. Dispute resolution through litigation is often considered ineffective because it takes a long time, is expensive, and creates a confrontational relationship between medical personnel and patients. Therefore, mediation is present as an alternative dispute resolution that prioritizes deliberation, communication, and mutual agreement. This study aims to analyze the regulation, implementation, and effectiveness of mediation as an alternative resolution of medical disputes based on Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2016 concerning Mediation Procedures in Court. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and case approach. Data were obtained through literature and document studies, then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that mediation has a strong legal basis and provides various advantages, such as a faster resolution process, lower costs, maintaining confidentiality, and being able to maintain good relationships between medical personnel and patients. However, the implementation of mediation still faces obstacles such as low public understanding, limited mediators who have competence in the health sector, and a legal culture that still tends to be litigative. Therefore, optimization is needed through improving mediator competence, strengthening public legal awareness, and maximizing mediation implementation to achieve fair, effective, and humane dispute resolution.

Blood is a major component of the homeostatic system that plays an essential role in maintaining the physiological balance of the body. Several blood chemistry parameters, including blood glucose, cholesterol, and blood pH levels, can be used to assess an individual's health condition. Blood glucose is derived from carbohydrate metabolism and serves as the body's primary energy source. Cholesterol is a lipid compound involved in cell membrane formation and hormone synthesis and consists of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL). Blood pH measurement is used to determine the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the blood, reflecting the body's acid-base balance. This study aims to interpret the results of blood chemical analyses and understand the principles and methods used to determine blood glucose, cholesterol, and pH levels. The research employed a laboratory experimental method by measuring these parameters using blood chemistry testing equipment on blood samples. The results showed that fasting blood glucose was 97 mg/dL, indicating a normal glucose level. In contrast, non-fasting blood glucose was 61 mg/dL, which was below the normal range and indicated hypoglycemia. Blood cholesterol was measured at 139 mg/dL, which remained within the normal range. The blood pH value was 6, indicating a condition of acidosis. These findings highlight the importance of blood chemistry examinations as indicators for evaluating metabolic conditions and overall health status.
