Population growth and socio-economic activities increase traffic volume, affecting the performance of the Raden Kusno – A. Djaelani – Sujarwo signalized intersection. This study aims to analyze the intersection’s current performance, estimate its condition over the next five years, and formulate alternative treatment strategies. The research data include geometric characteristics, signal timing, vehicle speed, and traffic volume obtained from CCTV recording over a three-day observation period from moning to evening, as well as population and vehicle data for projection. The intersection performance was analyzed using the PKJI 2023 approach and VISSIM simulation. Under current conditions, the intersection operates at LOS E with delays of 45,12 seconds (PKJI 2023) dan 60,56 seconds (VISSIM). In the five-year projection, delays increase to 48,97 seconds with LOS E (PKJI 2023) and 131,29 seconds with LOS F (VISSIM). Modifying the signal from four to three phases with a 70-second cycle improves the current condition to LOS C, with delays of 24,50 seconds (PKJI 2023) and 29,43 seconds (VISSIM). For the five-year projection, adding a continuous left-turn lane results in LOS D with 27,04 seconds (PKJI 2023) and LOS C with 32,01 seconds (VISSIM).

Indonesia is in an earthquake-prone region, therefore, designing building constructions that can withstand seismic loads is crucial in civil engineering. Reinforced concrete shear walls are one of the vertical structural fundamentals that are effectively used in multi-story buildings to withstand lateral forces due to earthquake and wind loads. Structures that use shear walls can increase stiffness and reduce horizontal deviations (deflections) of buildings, which contribute to the stability and safety of structures based on the SNI 1726:2019 standard. This study aims to analyze the effect of shear wall configurations on deviation and torsion requirements in multi-story building planning. The study object is a 6-story reinforced concrete building model in a specific earthquake zone. The design and modeling were performed using structural analysis software, taking into account columns, beams, slabs, and shear walls. The analysis results show that optimal placement of shear walls at the building edges significantly reduces horizontal drift, torsion, and shear forces, and improves the structural performance level compared to structures without shear walls or those with less effective placement. Structures with shear walls have optimal stiffness in absorbing lateral forces, making them more resistant to damage from the planned earthquake.

Entamoeba histolytica is an intestinal protozoan that can cause diarrhea through fecal–oral transmission due to the consumption of food or water contaminated with parasitic cysts. Based on data from the Badan Pusat Statistik in 2017–2019, Simpang Keramat District, particularly Paya Leupah Village, still had limited access to clean water and low ownership of permanent sanitary latrines, which may increase the risk of environmental contamination. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of dug wells and the risk factors associated with Entamoeba histolytica contamination in community well water. An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 50 dug wells selected using purposive sampling. Data were obtained through field observations and laboratory examinations of well water samples. The results showed that most wells had distances to septic tanks that did not meet health standards (58%) and inadequate well floor conditions (82%), while the majority of wells had depths that fulfilled the recommended standard (76%). All well water samples tested negative for Entamoeba histolytica cysts; therefore, the association between risk factors and contamination could not be determined.

This article explores the concept and implementation of restorative justice in Indonesia, an approach currently at a crucial crossroads within the criminal justice system. Rather than solely focusing on punishment, restorative justice offers a path towards repairing relationships between victims, offenders, and the community, seeking solutions oriented around conflict resolution. Through comprehensive analysis, this paper identifies the philosophical foundations and regulations supporting the adoption of restorative justice, while dissecting the dynamics of its application across various levels of legal processes in Indonesia. However, this noble endeavor is not without its challenges, ranging from institutional resistance and uneven understanding to harmonization with the conventional criminal law framework. Behind every case lies a human story yearning for more substantive justice. Therefore, this article argues that the success of restorative justice does not merely lie in its legal umbrella, but in our ability to understand and embrace the human dimension in every dispute resolution process. Consequently, this paper recommends adaptive and collaborative strategies to strengthen the role of restorative justice, ensuring it can guide our criminal justice system towards a more just and dignified future for all parties.

Simpang Kepur pedestrian has a border gate that is the center of attention and the first impression when entering the city of Muara Enim so that it has the opportunity as a face or symbol of the identity of the city of Muara Enim. Visually, the existence of pedestrians and gates at the Kepur intersection looks quite attractive but functionally it is not in accordance with the characteristics of pedestrian activities on the pedestrian so that research is needed to rearrange the previous design so that the function of the pedestrian becomes even better. The method used is qualitative through observation based on facts and activities in the field. Analysis based on the impression of place and activity on the pedestrian. The results obtained that there is a need to change the appearance of the color processing so that the pedestrian becomes more alive, need to keep the pedestrian so that there is no loss or damage, the need for guardrails or vegetation / view barrier plants in the area behind or beside the pedestrian, rearrangement of plants that can absorb dust and can absorb noise, and arrangement of street furniture, namely visual recommendations for a wider bus stop design, replace permanent seating, replace permanent trash.

This study focuses on the analysis of traffic density in Jember City, particularly at the Wirolegi Intersection, which is known to have a high density level. This condition often triggers congestion that hinders public mobility, so that appropriate and data-based handling efforts are needed. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the level of density at critical congestion points through a statistical approach using the One Way ANOVA method. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with a descriptive observational approach. Primary data was collected directly through a field survey in 2025 at the Wirolegi Intersection as one of 3 intersections in Jember City. The data obtained were then processed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and One Way ANOVA with the help of SPSS software. The results of the analysis show that the traffic flow density on the three routes studied, namely Jalan Gunung Haryono, Jalan Brigjen Katamso, Jalan Yos Sudarso, does not show a significant difference. The significance value of the ANOVA test is greater than 0.05 which indicates the similarity of density levels between routes. Further testing (post hoc testing) also strengthens this finding. The conclusion of this study shows that handling congestion at the Wirolegi Intersection needs to be done comprehensively through traffic control and evaluation of the transportation system to improve smoothness and mobility in Jember City.

Increasing traffic activity at unsignalized intersections often results in congestion and delays. The intersection of Jl. Imam Bonjol and Jl. Daya Nasional experiences these conditions, making performance evaluation necessary. This research tends to scrutinize the intersection performance under existing conditions and five-year projected conditions and to identify appropriate improvement measures. The analysis was carried out using the 2023 Indonesian Road Capacity Guidelines (PKJI 2023) and PTV VISSIM microsimulation software. Data on intersection geometry, vehicle speed, and traffic volume were collected through CCTV observations on weekdays and weekends. The results show that under existing conditions, the degree of saturation reached 1.170 with an average delay of 33.75 seconds (LOS D). In the five-year projection, the degree of saturation increased to 1.239 with an average delay of 53.69 seconds (LOS E). These findings indicate a decline in intersection performance, highlighting the need for alternative traffic management measures to improve operational performance and service levels.    

Beban gempa merupakan representasi dari beban statik ekuivalen yang diaplikasikan pada seluruh bagian struktur bangunan atau pada bagian tertentu, dengan tujuan menirukan efek gerakan tanah akibat aktivitas seismik. Di antara berbagai metode analisis, analisis time history dikenal sebagai teknik yang paling presisi dalam memprediksi respons struktur terhadap gempa. Namun, penerapan metode ini memerlukan proses perhitungan yang kompleks dan cukup menyita waktu. Untuk menyederhanakan proses tersebut, digunakan pendekatan analisis statik ekuivalen, yang terbukti cukup efektif, khususnya pada struktur bangunan yang bersifat simetris. Prosedur perhitungan dalam metode ini mencakup evaluasi gaya geser serta simpangan antar lantai, dengan studi kasus berupa gedung perkantoran yang berlokasi di Kota Semarang. Perangkat lunak SAP2000 dimanfaatkan sebagai alat bantu dalam melakukan analisis tersebut. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, gaya geser dan simpangan antar lantai yang diperoleh telah sesuai dan memenuhi ketentuan yang ditetapkan dalam standar SNI 1726:2019 untuk bangunan gedung.

Bangunan yang berada di daerah rawan gempa dengan tanah lunak cenderung memiliki tingkat kerentanan yang lebih tinggi. Dalam merancang struktur bangunan bertingkat, beban gempa menjadi salah satu parameter utama yang sangat berpengaruh. Kekuatan sebuah bangunan ditentukan oleh elemen-elemen struktur yang menopangnya dan kolom merupakan elemen struktur yang memiliki peran penting dalam konstruksi. Jika kolom mengalami kegagalan, bangunan yang ditopangnya berpotensi runtuh. Oleh karena itu, rendahnya ketahanan konstruksi di wilayah ini tetap menjadi permasalahan yang sedang diteliti saat ini. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui seberapa jauh pengaruh variasi dimensi kolom terhadap struktur bangunan terhadap gempa, sehingga diperoleh ukuran dimensi kolom yang paling optimal. Pada penelitian ini, objek yang digunakan adalah bangunan 8 lantai yang terdiri dari lantai 1-3 merupakan kantor dan lantai 4-8 merupakan hunian. Pada perencanaan ulang bangunan ini berpedoman pada persyaratan beton struktural (SNI 2847:2019), perencanaan ketahanan gempa (SNI 1726:2019), dan beban minimum untuk perancangan bangunan gedung dan struktur lain (SNI 1727:2020), dengan pemodelan menggunakan software ETABS V.22. Redesain bangunan ini untuk mengetahui ukuran dimensi kolom yang paling optimal. Hasil penelitian perubahan dimensi kolom terhadap kekuatan struktur bangunan yakni dengan memperbesar dimensi kolom, kapasitas penampang bertambah yang dapat meningkatkan ketahanan kolom terhadap beban gempa. Selain itu, dimensi yang lebih besar juga membantu mengurangi tegangan aksial pada kolom, sehingga menurunkan risiko kegagalan akibat tegangan berlebih atau kelelahan material. Semakin besar dimensi kolom yang digunakan maka semakin kecil nilai simpangan yang dihasilkan. Artinya dengan dimensi kolom yang lebih kecil memiliki resiko yang lebih tinggi, sebab nilai simpangan lebih dekat dengan batas yang diijinkan. Akan tetapi hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa dimensi kolom dengan berbagai variasi masih aman dari pengaruh delta izin.

Islamic law faces significant challenges from the rapid advancements in bioethics and artificial intelligence (AI). The current responsive approach, based on ad-hoc fatwas, is deemed inadequate to address the systemic ethical dilemmas posed by these disruptive technologies. This research aims to propose a proactive and systematic ijtihad framework capable of anticipating and guiding technological innovation to align with the higher objectives of Shari'ah (Maqasid al-Shari'ah). Using a qualitative, library-based method with a juridical-normative and philosophical approach, this study analyzes primary and secondary Islamic legal sources through the Maqasid al-Shari'ah theoretical framework. The research finds the current model to be limited and, as a solution, offers a novelty in the form of the Hierarchical Model of Technological Ijtihad (HI-Tech). This model is a structured, interdisciplinary reasoning process, supported by a proposed institution, the Bio-Artificial Ijtihad Council (MIBA), and a digital platform, "Nur-Fatwa," for dissemination. The implication of these findings is the need for a paradigm shift for Islamic legal institutions towards an anticipatory, interdisciplinary, and institutionalized approach to address contemporary technological issues, thereby ensuring the continued relevance of Islamic law.

The increase in traffic volume in urban areas often triggers various problems, especially at Road intersection points that have a high level of interaction between vehicles. One of the locations that experience these problems is the intersection with the island of traffic without signal on Jl. Tebu-Jl. Tabrani Ahmad, City Of Pontianak. This study aims to analyze the performance of the intersection in the existing condition and project its performance in the next five years (2030), as well as formulate alternative treatment that can improve the smoothness of traffic. The analysis method refers to Indonesian road capacity guidelines (PKJI) 2023 and modeling using software PTV VISSIM. The data collected include intersection geometry, traffic volume, and vehicle speed. Traffic volumes were obtained through CCTV recordings for three consecutive days, then processed and presented in the form of tables and graphs for easy interpretation. The results of the existing condition analysis showed that the degree of saturation (DS) reached 0.407 with an average delay of 9.539 seconds (Level of Service/LOS B) based on PKJI, while VISSIM simulation resulted in a delay of 12.54 seconds (LOS B). The five-year projection (2030) shows an increase in DS to 0.878 with a delay of 15.177 seconds (LOS C) from PKJI, and 23.35 seconds (LOS C) from VISSIM, which indicates a decrease in Junction performance as traffic grows. Two handling alternatives were analyzed, namely the construction of roundabouts and the implementation of traffic flow management. VISSIM simulation shows that the roundabout can reduce the delay to 14.31 seconds with a queue length of 20.34 m (LOS B), while the flow management produces a delay of 11.81 seconds with a queue of 13.14 m (LOS B). This result confirms that both alternatives are able to improve the performance of the intersection compared to the projected condition without handling, so that it can be a technical recommendation for urban traffic planning in Pontianak.

The patient, MA, a 2-year-4-month-old boy, was brought by his mother to Simpang Keuramat Primary Health Center with complaints of itchy scalp for the past 4 months. On the itchy area, white scales were observed. Initially, it was only itching, but two weeks later, the parents noticed white patches on the scalp that became thicker and more scaly. The itching was intermittent and worsened with sweating. At first, only a few hairs were broken, but over time it progressed into a round area of hair loss with well-defined borders. The patient bathes twice daily and shampoos every other day. Towels, pillows, and combs used by the patient were not shared with other family members. According to the patient's parents, the child often plays with stray cats around the house. Primary data were obtained through allo-anamnesis, physical examination, home visits, completion of the family folder, and patient records. Assessment was conducted based on the initial holistic diagnosis, process, and outcome of the visits, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Interventions included educating the patient about the causes of tinea capitis, emphasizing the importance of skin hygiene, and explaining that the disease is highly contagious. Therefore, patients were advised to avoid sharing clothing and towels with family members as a preventive measure against transmission.

This study aims to analyze the influence of ethnic relations on the political orientation of the community in Simpang Selayang Village, Medan City. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation. The data analysis techniques applied include data reduction, data presentation, and data verification according to Miles and Huberman. This study focuses on two main problem formulations, namely the influence of ethnic relations on political issues and the influence of ethnic relations on political orientation. The results of the study indicate that ethnic identity plays an important role in determining individual political preferences. Ethnic identity serves as a frame of reference that guides political behavior, including in general elections and other political participation. Solidarity between ethnic groups often strengthens political support for candidates who have the same ethnic affiliation, creating a voting pattern that is strongly influenced by ethnic factors. The research findings also reveal that political issues that are relevant to the local community are influenced by the social and cultural context of each tribe. political programs that emphasize local economic development and preservation of tribal culture tend to get greater support. This suggests that understanding the socio-cultural context of ethnic groups is key to formulating effective and inclusive political policies. This study provides new insights into the dynamics of politics in a multi-ethnic society and emphasizes the importance of inclusive policies that take into account ethnic diversity to promote social harmony and political stability in Simpang Selayang Village.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, particularly in endemic areas like Simpang III Sipin Village. This disease is transmitted by Aedes sp mosquitoes, and the presence of their larvae is a key indicator of the potential spread of DHF. Environmental conditions, such as water reservoirs and humidity, alongside community behaviors, play significant roles in supporting the growth of these mosquito larvae. Therefore, research is needed to identify the factors influencing the presence of Aedes sp larvae. Methods: This study utilized a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 143 households, selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected via questionnaires and direct observations. Additionally, measurements of environmental conditions such as air humidity and temperature were taken using a hygrothermometer. The variables under study included knowledge, attitudes, behavior regarding water reservoir drainage (TPA), number of TPAs, air humidity, and air temperature. Results: Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square statistical test to determine the relationships between the variables. The results indicated that factors like knowledge level (p = 0.008), attitude (p = 0.008), behavior related to draining water reservoirs (p = 0.001), number of water reservoirs (p = 0.013), and air humidity (p = 0.004) were significantly related to the presence of Aedes sp larvae. However, air temperature did not show a significant relationship (p = 0.675). Conclusion: High humidity environments encourage the growth of mosquito larvae, and insufficient knowledge and inadequate preventive behaviors contribute to increased mosquito populations, exacerbating the risk of DHF transmission.
