Through interviews with elderly individuals and caregivers, the research assesses how each model meets the emotional, social, and healthcare needs of the elderly. Findings suggest that while family care offers emotional benefits, institutional models can provide better healthcare, calling for integrated approaches to eldercare.

The selection of the best students in schools is essential to recognize both academic and non-academic achievements and to motivate other students to improve their skills. SMP Negeri 16 Jakarta requires an objective decision support system to select the best students based on predefined criteria. This study aims to design and implement a decision support system using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method to facilitate the selection of the best students at SMPN 16 Jakarta. The SAW method is chosen due to its capability to accommodate multiple criteria through weighting and ranking for each alternative. The research process involves observation, interviews, and documentation, which are then used to determine primary criteria such as academic achievement, social skills, and participation in school activities. The findings show that the application of the SAW method enables a more accurate and objective selection of the best students by ranking based on the final score of each criterion. This system is expected to assist SMPN 16 Jakarta in making more structured decisions and supporting educational quality improvement.

This study investigates the factors influencing the utilization of adolescent health services among school dropout adolescents in the Sakra subdistrict of East Lombok, Indonesia. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative data from structured questionnaires with qualitative insights gathered through in-depth interviews. A total of 37 school dropout adolescents, aged 14-19 years, were purposively sampled to participate in the study. The findings from this study underscore the multifaceted factors influencing school dropout adolescents' access to health services in the Sakra subdistrict of East Lombok regency. The six predictors highlighted the importance of knowledge, family support, distance, the role of health professionals, and the recognition of health needs in shaping adolescents' engagement with health services. Addressing these interconnected factors through a comprehensive approach can promote health equity and improve the overall well-being of school dropout adolescents, contributing to healthier communities in the long run.

This paper examines the effectiveness of law enforcement in society from the perspective of legal sociology. The goal is to explain the extent to which law enforcement can be effective in society. To obtain data from the problem, the author uses the library research method to collect information relevant to the topic or problem to be studied. The type of data used in this study is secondary data obtained from library materials or literature that have a relationship with the object being studied. The results of the study show that the effectiveness of law enforcement has not been maximized. This is marked by the fact that it is not easy for the law to be enforced in cases involving elites or officials. The law should apply to all circles, not recognizing social stratification in its enforcement, but the reality that occurs is inversely proportional to the principle of law, the law is used as a tool for those who have interests. Therefore, the sociology of law is present to examine the impact of the enactment of a law in society, so that social phenomena can arise and develop in society. The sociology of law and the effectiveness of law are very closely related, because what will be discussed in the sociology of law will not be separated from the assessment of how far the effectiveness of law exists in society as part of social phenomena.

The unwise use of electrical energy in households can lead to energy wastage and pose risks such as short circuits, which may result in fires. This research developed a Node-Red-based protection system using an ESP8266 microcontroller and a PZEM 004-T sensor to detect voltage, current, and power in real-time. The system automatically disconnects the current when overload conditions are detected, especially on extension cables. Testing was conducted on household devices such as laptop chargers, fans, and soldering irons. Results demonstrate that the system can accurately monitor current and power, maintain electrical stability, and cut off electricity when the load exceeds the safe threshold, thus reducing fire risk. This implementation is expected to enhance household electrical safety and serve as a reference for further development in IoT-based protection systems.

This study aims to improve the literacy skills of fifth-grade students at SDN Citarik III through the implementation of thematic learning. The method used in this research is Classroom Action Research (CAR), which was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The results of the study showed significant improvement in the students' literacy skills, reflected in the increased literacy test scores and active student involvement in group discussions. The thematic learning approach successfully enhanced students' reading, writing, and critical thinking skills. This improvement was more evident in the second cycle, where the majority of students showed significant progress in their literacy abilities.

This study aims to improve students' mathematics learning outcomes through the implementation of Lesson Study with the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach. Lesson Study was conducted in two cycles following the Plan-Do-See stages, involving teacher collaboration in planning, implementing, and reflecting on the learning process. The CTL approach was utilized to connect mathematics material to real-life contexts, making learning more meaningful and relevant. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of Lesson Study with the CTL approach significantly enhances students' understanding of the material, strengthens their engagement in learning, and provides a more effective learning experience. These findings suggest that the combination of Lesson Study and CTL can be an effective strategy in mathematics instruction to improve students' learning outcomes.

Scientific evidence has become an important element in modern criminal justice, especially in complex cases such as Raden Adante, where alibis are used as the main defense strategy to undermine forensic evidence. In this case, scientific methods such as DNA analysis, digital traces, and toxicology examination succeeded in breaking the defendant's alibi. This research examines how scientific evidence can overcome the challenges of alibi strategies which are often used to confuse the investigative process. This study shows that accurate and standardized forensic evidence is able to objectively confirm the presence of the defendant at the scene of the crime, thereby strengthening fair and effective law enforcement efforts. The research uses a juridical-normative approach with qualitative analysis, examining regulations, legal doctrine, and expert views to assess the role of scientific evidence in dealing with alibi defenses.
