This community-based project aimed to analyze the cash management system of the micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) Bakpia Juwara Satoe and develop recommendations to improve the company's financial performance. Cash management is a crucial but often overlooked aspect of MSME financial management, which can lead to cash flow problems, inaccurate record keeping, and poor management decisions. The methodology used included qualitative data collection through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and financial statement analysis. The project findings revealed that Bakpia Juwara Satoe lacked a functioning cash management system. There was no separation between cash receipts and disbursements, no standardized system for handling cash, and transaction recording remained manual and inconsistent. As part of the project, standard operating procedures (SOP) for cash management were developed, financial accounting training was conducted, and support was provided in creating simple cash flow statements. Following the implementation of these measures, record accuracy increased by 78%, and cash losses were reduced. It was determined that the implementation of efficient cash management contributed significantly to the improvement of Bakpia Juwara Satoe's financial performance.

This research was conducted at Toko Bangunan Jaya Perkasa. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the internal control system for inventory management in the observed company has been implemented effectively or not. This study uses a qualitative method with data source triangulation techniques, including observation, interviews, and documentation based on data collection and relevant facts. The research informants consisted of seven individuals. The results show that the internal control system at Toko Bangunan Jaya Perkasa has not been implemented optimally, and the inventory management is still vulnerable to risks and potential losses. This is due to the fact that the procedures for purchasing, storing, recording, and selling goods are still conducted manually. The company faces several problems such as stock discrepancies, damaged goods, and obstacles related to suppliers and customers. The suggestions provided include implementing a computerized system for inventory management in the future, conducting regular stock opname to minimize stock discrepancies, improving communication to avoid duplicate stock records, and establishing clear communication and agreements at the beginning of transactions to overcome external constraints.

Tindak pidana pembunuhan merupakan salah satu bentuk kejahatan terhadap nyawa yang memiliki dampak serius terhadap perlindungan hak asasi manusia serta ketertiban sosial. Permasalahan menjadi lebih kompleks ketika pelaku pembunuhan merupakan penderita gangguan psikis karena kondisi kejiwaannya berpotensi memengaruhi kemampuan untuk memahami dan mengendalikan perbuatannya, sehingga menimbulkan persoalan mengenai pertanggungjawaban pidana. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis bentuk pertanggungjawaban pidana terhadap pelaku pembunuhan yang mengalami gangguan psikis serta mengkaji faktor-faktor kriminologis yang memengaruhi terjadinya tindak pidana tersebut beserta upaya penanggulangannya. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif, yuridis empiris, dan kriminologis dengan spesifikasi penelitian deskriptif. Data diperoleh melalui studi kepustakaan, wawancara dengan penyidik Satreskrim Polres Mesuji, serta analisis terhadap kasus pembunuhan yang terjadi di wilayah hukum Polres Mesuji pada tahun 2025. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa gangguan psikis berupa skizofrenia merupakan faktor internal yang berpengaruh terhadap penurunan kemampuan kognitif, pengendalian emosi, serta kesadaran pelaku ketika melakukan tindak pidana. Namun demikian, penentuan pertanggungjawaban pidana tidak dapat didasarkan semata-mata pada adanya diagnosis gangguan jiwa, melainkan harus dibuktikan melalui pemeriksaan psikiatri forensik untuk menilai kemampuan bertanggung jawab sebagaimana diatur dalam hukum pidana. Upaya penanggulangan dilakukan melalui pendekatan penal berupa penegakan hukum yang memperhatikan kondisi kejiwaan pelaku dan pendekatan non-penal melalui deteksi dini, pengobatan, rehabilitasi kesehatan jiwa, serta peningkatan peran keluarga dan masyarakat. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa keseimbangan antara perlindungan masyarakat, keadilan bagi pelaku, dan kepastian hukum harus menjadi dasar dalam menentukan pertanggungjawaban pidana terhadap pelaku pembunuhan yang mengalami gangguan psikis.

Ketidaksesuaian kualitas pada proses assembly sepatu kulit kerap memicu siklus rework berulang yang menguras sumber daya waktu maupun biaya produksi secara signifikan. Penelitian ini mengkaji mekanisme pengendalian cacat yang diterapkan pada Product D-01 di Lini C PT XYZ, dengan menggunakan DMAIC sebagai kerangka perbaikan utama serta Pareto, P-Chart, Fishbone Diagram, 5 Whys, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), dan Cost of Quality (COQ) sebagai alat pendukung. Data primer bersumber dari catatan produksi internal perusahaan, pengamatan lapangan, dan wawancara terstruktur bersama pengawas produksi dan staf quality control. Pengukuran baseline menunjukkan bahwa Lini C menyumbang volume cacat paling tinggi di antara seluruh lini yang ada, dengan Product D-01 mencatat 10.487 pair cacat dari total output 80.387 pair, sehingga menghasilkan defect rate sebesar 13,05%. Distribusi Pareto mengidentifikasi wrinkle, incorrect colour, dan not straight sebagai tiga kategori cacat paling kritis. Penilaian FMEA menetapkan Risk Priority Number tertinggi sebesar 245 pada perilaku operator yang terburu-buru selama proses lasting dan brushing. Tindakan korektif mencakup pemasangan SOP visual, implementasi checklist QC pra-shift, verifikasi kondisi mesin secara rutin, dan penyediaan sampel referensi warna serta bentuk yang terstandar. Pemantauan selama dua periode berikutnya mengkonfirmasi penurunan defect rate secara bertahap menjadi 12,80% dan kemudian 11,65%, disertai penurunan estimasi biaya kegagalan internal dari Rp 2,36 juta menjadi Rp 1,86 juta per periode.

Kecurangan (fraud) di sektor perbankan daerah merupakan ancaman serius yang dapat merugikan keuangan negara dan menurunkan kepercayaan publik. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kasus korupsi pengadaan iklan pada Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat dan Banten (Bank BJB) menggunakan pendekatan Fraud Triangle Theory yang mencakup tiga elemen utama: tekanan (pressure), kesempatan (opportunity), dan rasionalisasi (rationalization). Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan studi kasus, didukung oleh studi literatur dari berbagai sumber ilmiah yang relevan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kasus Bank BJB mencerminkan interaksi ketiga elemen Fraud Triangle secara simultan. Tekanan bersumber dari kebutuhan dana non-budgeter yang besar dalam pengelolaan anggaran promosi senilai Rp409 miliar. Kesempatan muncul akibat lemahnya sistem pengendalian internal, tidak adanya verifikasi dokumen yang memadai, serta penyimpangan dalam proses pengadaan. Rasionalisasi terbentuk melalui persepsi pelaku bahwa praktik tersebut merupakan hal yang lazim dalam lingkungan birokrasi dan korporasi. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan pemahaman teoritis dan praktis terkait pencegahan fraud di lembaga keuangan daerah Indonesia, khususnya melalui penguatan tata kelola perusahaan dan sistem pengawasan internal.

The Application Of Hallucination Management Using The Shutting-Out Technique For The Control Of Auditory Hallucinations In Schizophrenia Patients In The Angruk Ward Of Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo General Hospital, Purwokerto. Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder often accompanied by auditory hallucinations. Auditory hallucinations may cause patients to talk to themselves, appear restless, and experience difficulty in controlling responses to internal stimuli. One non-pharmacological nursing intervention that can be applied is the rebuking technique, a strategy used to firmly reject or dismiss hallucinatory voices. This study aimed to examine the application of the rebuking technique in controlling auditory hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia. This research employed a descriptive case study design using a nursing process approach and was conducted from February 17 to 19, 2026, on a patient diagnosed with schizophrenia experiencing auditory hallucinations. The intervention was implemented over three days, with one session per day lasting approximately 15–20 minutes. The results showed an improvement in the patient’s ability to recognize and control hallucinations, as indicated by a reduction in self-talking behavior, increased awareness of hallucination onset, and the ability to independently apply the rebuking technique. In conclusion, the rebuking technique is an effective nursing intervention to assist patients with schizophrenia in controlling auditory hallucinations.

Pengelolaan anggaran daerah memerlukan sistem pengendalian internal yang efektif serta penerapan manajemen risiko yang terintegrasi untuk mendukung tercapainya tujuan pembangunan secara optimal. Namun, pada praktiknya masih banyak pemerintah daerah menghadapi persoalan berupa rendahnya kualitas perencanaan, lemahnya pengawasan, ketidaktepatan prioritas belanja, serta belum optimalnya pemanfaatan sumber daya fiskal. Penelitian terdahulu umumnya membahas pengendalian internal dan manajemen risiko secara terpisah, sedangkan kajian mengenai sinergi keduanya dalam pengelolaan anggaran daerah, khususnya pada daerah dengan kapasitas fiskal terbatas, masih relatif terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sinergi antara internal control dan manajemen risiko dalam pengelolaan anggaran pada Pemerintah Kabupaten Bengkulu Tengah. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode kualitatif melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan telaah dokumen, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif Miles dan Huberman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa internal control telah berjalan secara normatif melalui fungsi pengawasan APIP. Namun, penerapan manajemen risiko masih bersifat administratif dan belum menjadi dasar utama dalam pengambilan keputusan anggaran. Temuan ini menunjukkan kebaruan bahwa integrasi pengawasan internal berbasis risiko menjadi model penting dalam meningkatkan efektivitas, efisiensi, akuntabilitas, dan kualitas tata kelola keuangan daerah.
