This study aims to examine how lesbian couples manage conflict through interpersonal communication by analyzing the strategies they use to maintain healthy relationships between them. The approach used is a qualitative case study based on Relationship Rules Theory. The data was gathered over a period of two months through semi-structured interviews, observations, and field notes, capturing both verbal and non-verbal cues. The informants included two lesbian couples, along with insights from a close friend and a relationship counselor. Findings indicate that successful conflict management often depends on open and honest dialogue, willingness to compromise, and a deep understanding of each partner's emotional needs and values. Many couples emphasize the importance of creating a safe space for vulnerability, where both partners feel heard and respected. Additionally, external challenges—such as discrimination or lack of family support—sometimes influence how conflicts are handled, requiring couples to develop additional resilience. By highlighting these communication dynamics, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of how lesbian couples maintain their relationships despite facing social barriers. This research also provides practical insights for relationship counselors, educators, and LGBTQ+ advocates who wish to support healthy conflict resolution in same-sex relationships.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana pasangan lesbian mengelola konflik melalui komunikasi interpersonal dengan menganalisis strategi yang mereka gunakan untuk mempertahankan hubungan yang sehat di antara mereka. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah studi kasus kualitatif berdasarkan Teori Aturan Hubungan. Data dikumpulkan selama dua bulan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur, observasi, dan catatan lapangan, yang menangkap isyarat verbal dan non-verbal. Informan yang terlibat terdiri dari dua pasangan lesbian, bersama dengan wawasan dari seorang teman dekat dan seorang konselor hubungan. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan konflik yang sukses seringkali bergantung pada dialog yang terbuka dan jujur, kesediaan untuk berkompromi, serta pemahaman yang mendalam tentang kebutuhan emosional dan nilai-nilai masing-masing pasangan. Banyak pasangan menekankan pentingnya menciptakan ruang aman untuk kerentanan, di mana kedua pasangan merasa didengar dan dihormati.

Dengan melihat dinamika komunikasi ini, penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pemahaman yang lebih dalam tentang bagaimana pasangan lesbian mempertahankan hubungan mereka meskipun menghadapi hambatan sosial. Penelitian ini juga memberikan wawasan praktis bagi konselor hubungan, pendidik, dan advokat LGBTQ+ yang ingin mendukung resolusi konflik yang sehat dalam hubungan sesama jenis.

Good Corporate Governance (GCG) refers to the practices and processes that guide a company's operations and decision-making, significantly influencing its financial performance. This study employs secondary and quantitative data, utilizing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, with sources obtained from the Google Scholar website. The research focuses on the impact of the Independent Board of Commissioners, the Audit Committee, and Managerial Ownership on financial performance. The findings indicate that effective corporate governance, particularly the presence of an independent Board of Commissioners, positively influences financial performance as assessed by Return on Assets (ROA). Additionally, the Audit Committee is shown to have a significant and positive effect on financial performance. In contrast, while Managerial Ownership does not appear to impact financial performance when evaluated through ROA, it does exhibit a positive correlation when assessed using Tobin's Q. This suggests that higher managerial ownership can enhance market perceptions of the company's long-term value and stability. The study concludes that the successful implementation of Good Corporate Governance practices can lead to improved financial performance for companies. Conversely, inadequate execution of these governance principles may result in diminished financial performance and overall company value. Therefore, it is crucial for organizations to prioritize and effectively implement GCG to foster better financial outcomes and enhance their market standing. This research underscores the importance of governance structures in shaping financial results and highlights the need for companies to focus on governance practices to achieve sustainable growth and value creation. Ultimately, the study emphasizes that a strong commitment to GCG can lead to increased investor confidence and long-term success in the competitive business landscape.

This community service program was implemented to strengthen the digital literacy and competencies of health cadres in Simogirang Village, Prambon Sub-district, Sidoarjo Regency, particularly in the recording and management of Posyandu (integrated health service post) data. The initiative responded to ongoing issues stemming from manual documentation methods, which were prone to human error, inefficiency, and lack of integration with regional health information systems. To address these challenges, the program delivered an IT-based training module using a combination of direct instruction, demonstrations, and hands-on simulations. The training emphasized the use of accessible and cost-effective tools such as Google Forms and Google Sheets, designed in alignment with the principles of adult learning (andragogy) and Kurt Lewin’s change management model to facilitate behavioral adaptation and technology acceptance among the participants. A total of 25 health cadres participated in the program. Pre- and post-training evaluations demonstrated significant improvement in digital skills, with 80% of participants achieving a minimum of 85% accuracy in completing digital forms and managing records. In addition, a prototype digital system based on Google Workspace was successfully piloted in two Posyandu locations. This system enhanced the timeliness, accuracy, and integration of health data reporting to local health centers (Puskesmas), offering a scalable and sustainable solution for grassroots healthcare data management. Despite the positive outcomes, the program also identified key challenges, notably limited internet infrastructure and varying levels of prior digital exposure among cadres. These findings underscore the need for continuous mentoring, support from local government stakeholders, and potential investment in digital infrastructure. Overall, the initiative contributes to Indonesia’s broader goals of digital transformation in public health, particularly at the village level.

Wayang kulit rose and became the prima donna through the play of the character Bagong by Ki Seno Nugroho on social media. This article aims to analyze the role and meaning of Bagong in the play of wayang kulit by Ki Seno Nugroho through a semiotic approach. Ki Seno Nugroho can bring the character of Bagong to life, not only playing a comedic role but also voicing social criticism and the values of people's wisdom. Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis method examines data in the form of signs and meanings formed in dialogues, gestures, expressions, and scenes involving Bagong. This method consists of two levels, namely denotation (literal meaning) and connotation (cultural and ideological meaning). The semiotic approach was chosen because of its relevance in unraveling the layers of meaning of a cultural text to reveal deeper cultural and ideological implications as well. The data source was taken from the video documentation of Ki Seno Nugroho's performance on the Dalang Seno YouTube channel with the plays Bagong Ratu and Semar Mbangun Kayangan. The results of the analysis show that (1) Bagong plays a role as a representation of the common people, (2) Bagong serves as a medium of symbolic resistance to social inequality, and (3) Bagong serves as a communicative and entertaining conveyor of local wisdom. This study confirms the position of Punakawan as an important narrative device in the play of Javanese puppetry.

System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a common methodology used to develop information systems. The purpose of this study is to determine system development between the Waterfall and Rapid Application Development (RAD) models The advantage of using the waterfall method is that the quality of the resulting system will be good because the implementation is carried out in stages. The disadvantage of using the waterfall method is that the system development process takes a long time. The advantage of using the RAD Model method is that the integration of sensors/other applications can be processed faster and more effectively. The disadvantage of using the RAD method is the limitations of payment gateways, and chat bots.

In Indonesia, tapioca wastewater is one of the most abundant organic wastewater. It has a great deal of potential for use as a substrate for biogas, but it contains a high ratio of chemical oxygen demand (COD) to nitrogen (N). For this reason, adding nitrogen sources, such as urea, is crucial. Meanwhile, microbial electrolysis cell-assisted anaerobic digestion (MEC-AD) is a novel technology that can be applied to enhance biogas production. Thus, the purpose of this study was to ascertain how adding urea affected the biogas yield from tapioca wastewater through the MEC-AD process. There were six digesters, namely A (MEC-AD urea 0.25 g), B (MEC-AD urea 0.5 g), C (MEC-AD urea 1 g), D (MEC-AD urea 1.5 g), E (MEC-AD without urea), F (AD without urea). The MEC-AD process was carried out at room temperature using a batch system. The results revealed that the MEC-AD (without urea) generated a biogas yield 2.3-fold higher than AD alone (without urea). Then, an increase in urea addition in the MEC-AD process from 0 to 1.5 g enhanced biogas yield from 106.4 to 268.8 mL/g-COD. It means that in MEC-AD, the urea addition of 1.5 g generated 2.5 times more biogas yield than without urea addition. The MEC-AD with urea addition of 1.5 g had the most stable substrate pH and the highest volatile fatty acids during the process. The MEC-AD (without urea) gave a higher COD removal efficiency (21%) than AD alone (without urea), namely 14%. Then, an increase in urea addition from 0 to 1.5 g in MEC-AD increased COD removal from 21% to 38%. Therefore, the best variable was MEC-AD with a urea addition of 1.5 g. This innovation is expected to reduce environmental pollution and provide biogas as alternative energy to substitute the use of fossil fuels.

Urinary incontinence (UI) significantly impacts the quality of life in older adults, often resulting from multifactorial causes, including age-related changes and systemic health issues. Emerging evidence highlights the role of lipid metabolism in influencing bladder and pelvic floor function through vascular integrity, inflammation control, and tissue repair. Lipid parameters, such as apolipoproteins, HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and their ratios, provide insights into metabolic health and its association with UI. This study aims to identify specific lipid-related predictors, advancing the understanding of metabolic factors in UI and informing targeted prevention and management strategies for aging populations. This study used multiple linear regression analysis to assess the relationship between lipid panel predictors and urinary incontinence in 93 elderly respondents at Bina Bakti Nursing Home. The analysis identifies apolipoprotein B, Apo B/Apo A ratio, total cholesterol, and triglyceride-to-HDL ratio as significant predictors. These variables actively influence urinary incontinence through metabolic and vascular pathways, with both positive and negative associations. Apolipoprotein B, Apo B/Apo A ratio, total cholesterol, and triglyceride-to-HDL ratio predict urinary incontinence, highlighting lipid-related impacts on vascular health, inflammation, and tissue integrity for improved risk stratification.
