Abstract

The government's need to improve efficiency, transparency, and quality of public services through the use of digital technology. Digital transformation at the Palembang City Population and Civil Registration Office is one of the tangible forms of E-Government implementation, especially through the implementation of Digital Population Identity (IKD) and population administration information system (SIAK). This change is driven by national regulations and the need to realize fast, accountable, and inclusive services amid the challenges of low digital literacy and human resource readiness. This transformation is important to overcome the constraints of previous manual services and encourage a government system that is more adaptive to the digital era. This research aims to determine the digital transformation of the Palembang City Population and Civil Registration Office in 2024. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observations and documentation at the Palembang City Population and Civil Registration Office. Data analysis is carried out through data collection, data presentation, and verification and confirmation of conclusions. The location of this research is the Palembang City Population and Civil Registration Office located on Jalan Demang Lebar Daun, No.4225, Lorok Pakjo, Kec. The interview resource persons amounted to 9 people, including 1 head of office, 3 employees of the Disdukcapil, 5 communities. The results of this study show that the Digital Transformation of the Palembang City Population and Civil Registration Office in 2024 shows significant achievements in improving the quality of public service governance. The implementation of the population administration information system (SIAK) and Digital Population Identity (IKD) contributes to increasing the efficiency, transparency, and accessibility of services to the community. This success is supported by the availability of adequate technological infrastructure, adaptive regulations, and strategic initiatives such as the "Pick Up the Ball" program that strengthens community participation. However, this transformation process still faces a number of obstacles, including the low level of digital literacy of the community, limited human resource competencies and technical challenges related to network stability and digital access gaps in certain regions. In conclusion, the digital transformation carried out by the Palembang City Disdukcapil is a strategic step in supporting an electronic-based government system that is more responsive, adaptive, and inclusive. This effort is also in line with the spirit of the industrial revolution 4.0 and Society 5.0, where digitalization is the main key in providing quality public services, as well as answering the demands of an increasingly dynamic and technology-based era.

Abstract

This research is entitled "Organizational Communication Strategies in Improving Production Team Performance (Case Study on the Rafa Television Community of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang)" which aims to analyze how organizational communication strategies are applied in improving the performance of the production team and what are the organizational communication obstacles in improving the performance of the production team. The focus of the research is directed at internal, external, formal, and informal communication strategies carried out by the management and members of the Rafa Television Community. The theory used is Elton Mayo's theory of human relations which emphasizes that the success of an organization depends on satisfaction, motivation, and interaction between members. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis is carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the organizational communication strategy in the Rafa Television Community is carried out through several steps, including regular meetings, clear division of jobdesks, production briefings, the use of digital media (WhatsApp, Google Meet), and informal communication outside production hours. These strategies are able to improve coordination, strengthen a sense of community, and motivate team members. However, this study also found obstacles in the form of limited human resources, miscommunication between members, and tight production schedules that have the potential to reduce communication effectiveness. The conclusion of this study is that consistent, adaptive, and participatory organizational communication strategies have been proven to be able to improve the performance of the production team, both in terms of output quality, timeliness, and cooperation between members. Thus, organizational communication not only serves as a means of conveying information, but also becomes an important factor in creating a collaborative and professional work culture in the campus broadcasting community.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the strategy of the South Sumatra Provincial KPU in increasing the participation of voters with disabilities in the 2024 Presidential election in Palembang City, as well as the obstacles and factors that affect the effectiveness of the strategy. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, by collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation at the South Sumatra Provincial KPU office, as well as the chairman of KPPS, and the Disability Group. Data analysis is carried out through data collection, data reduction, data presentation as well as verification and affirmation of thematic conclusions based on Strategy Theory (Mulgan, 2009:19) and Political Participation Theory (Budiardjo, 2019), to identify the KPU strategy as well as the obstacles and factors that affect the effectiveness of the strategy. The results of the research revealed that the South Sumatra Provincial KPU implemented various strategies to increase the participation of voters with disabilities in the 2024 Presidential Election. The strategy includes direct socialization to communities and social institutions, the use of social media and tools such as braille, and training for KPPS to be able to provide inclusive services. The KPU also involves people with disabilities in election simulations and public service advertisements to increase their political awareness. Facilities at the polling station are prepared to be disability-friendly, such as special lanes, wheelchairs, and pick-up services. Cooperation with social institutions and communities with disabilities also strengthens the dissemination of information. Despite obstacles such as limitations of disability-friendly information media and psychological barriers, this strategy is considered effective in increasing the confidence and political participation of people with disabilities. This effort reflects the commitment of the South Sumatra KPU in realizing inclusive, fair, and equal elections for all. Based on the results of the research, the South Sumatra Provincial KPU's strategy in increasing the participation of voters with disabilities in the 2024 Presidential Election in Palembang City shows a positive commitment, but still faces obstacles. The goal of political inclusion has been well directed, but the provision of facilities and information still does not fully support the needs of people with disabilities, especially for sensory and intellectual disabilities. Socialization is not yet fully accessible, and the involvement of people with disabilities in decision-making is still limited. The participation rate is still mostly passive due to lack of information, physical barriers, and psychological and social factors. To realize inclusive elections, the KPU's strategy needs to be strengthened through increased accessibility, involvement of the disability community, and more disability-friendly communication methods.

Abstract

Background: Distal humerus fractures are complex injuries that often require internal fixation open reduction surgery (ORIF). One of the complications that often accompanies is an ulnar nerve injury, which is reportedly related to the surgical approach technique. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the type of surgical approach and the incidence of post-ORIF ulnar nerve injury in distal humerus fractures. Methods: An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 45 patients undergoing distal humerus fracture ORIF at Adam Malik Hospital Medan for the 2020-2024 period. Data were collected from medical records and postoperative neuroimaging results using McGowan's classification. The surgical approaches studied are: paratricipital, triceps splitting, Chevron osteotomy. Results: The mean age of patients was 42.02±12.46 years, with the majority being male (60%). The most frequent injury mechanism was falling (46.67%). The paratricipital approach is most commonly used (44.44%), followed by chevron osteotomy (35.56%) and triceps splitting (20%). Postoperative ulnar nerve injury was found in 3 patients (6.67%), with the highest proportionally incidence on the triceps splitting approach (11.1%). Analysis with Kolmogorov-Smirnov showed an insignificant association between surgical approach and ulnar nerve injury (p = 0.786). Conclusions: No significant association was found between the surgical approach of ORIF and the incidence of ulnar nerve injury. These findings may be a consideration in the selection of a safe surgical approach to the ulnar nerve in distal humerus fractures.

Abstract

The application of information technology as a health service is carried out at the Community Health Center (Puskesmas) so that along with the development of health service management needs, the government issued an Electronic Health Center Management Information System (SIMPUStronik) to mobilize work. The implementation of the Electronic Health Center Management Information System (SIMPUStronik) is the main need in the era of digitization of health services in Indonesia, especially in the West City Health Center as the health center with the highest accreditation in Gorontalo City. The implementation of SIMPUStronik at the West City Health Center has been going on since 2017, but it still faces various obstacles such as limited technology infrastructure, lack of training for health workers, and additional workload due to systems that have not been optimally integrated with existing workflows. The study used a quantitative approach with a total sampling technique, involving 55 health workers. Effectiveness is measured based on four main indicators, namely, target achievement, adaptability, user satisfaction, and responsibility. The results show that SIMPUStronik has high effectiveness in these four aspects, with the achievement of targets of 91%, adaptability of 91%, user satisfaction of 83%, and responsibility of 85%. The implementation of SIMPUStronik at the West City Health Center is very effective and has a positive impact on improving the performance of health workers. It is recommended for the West City Health Center to continue to be consistent in improving performance and monitoring the shortcomings of SIMPUStronics.

Abstract

Hospital performance is determined not only by clinical indicators, but also by non-clinical factors that reflect the well-being and mental health of medical staff. In recent years, the increase in cases of work stress and burnout among healthcare workers has become a serious issue that directly impacts service quality, patient safety, and organizational sustainability. Therefore, this study is important to examine and develop non-clinical performance indicators that focus on managing stress and burnout among medical staff. This study uses a literature review approach to various relevant national and international studies. The results of the review show that integrating psychological well-being aspects into the hospital performance appraisal system can improve organizational effectiveness and create a healthy and productive work environment. Thus, the development of non-clinical indicators based on staff well-being is a strategic step in strengthening the hospital performance management system in the modern era.

Abstract

The quality of healthcare is one of the main indicators of the success of a national healthcare system. However, to date, many healthcare facilities still face challenges in maintaining service quality and patient satisfaction due to weak human resource management. This study aims to analyze the role of effective human resource management in improving healthcare quality and patient satisfaction. The method used is a literature study by reviewing eight national and international journals published in the last five years. The results of the review show that the effectiveness of HR management has a significant influence on the quality of health services. The main factors that contribute to increased patient satisfaction include the competence of health workers, professional attitudes, work motivation, continuous training, performance appraisal systems, and good HR management. Effective HR management has been proven to increase productivity, improve communication between health workers and patients, and create a positive work environment. Conversely, weak HR management has an impact on low service quality and patient satisfaction. Therefore, the implementation of planned, sustainable, and competency-based HR management strategies is an important step in realizing quality, efficient, and patient-oriented health services.

Abstract

Organic waste that is not managed quickly will create bad odors and cause disease. One way to reduce the weight of organic waste is to use black soldier fly larvae. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) as a decomposer of organic waste at the Sabilurrasyad Food Court, Gorontalo State University. The type of research used is pre-experiment with a One-Shot Case Study design. The samples were vegetable organic waste, chicken waste and fish residue weighing 2500 grams each, as well as 250 grams of black soldier fly larval samples for each type of feed obtained using the purposive sampling technique. Data analysis used the Kruskal Wallis test with = 5% (0.05). The results showed that the larval growth rate of vegetable type was 10.58 grams, chicken residue -4 grams, leftover fish -4.3 grams and substrate consumption ability of vegetable type 66.60%, chicken residue 9.48%, fish residue 16.64% with the same data analysis results, namely p-value = 0.368 > 0.05. In conclusion, there was no significant difference in larval growth rate and substrate consumption ability for the type of vegetable waste, chicken leftovers and fish leftovers. It is recommended to carry out variations and combinations of feed as well as temperature and humidity measurements for more optimal growth of black soldier fly larvae and more effectively decomposing organic waste.

Abstract

Introduction: Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) is a condition of the proximal femoral physis that causes metaphyseal displacement that can lead to femoroacetabular impingement and premature osteoarthritis. The management of SCFE so far had significant complications of avascular necrosis so that the Modified Dunn procedure was developed to allow the visual control of the epiphyseal vascular blood supply. Cases Description: We report 2 cases of SCFE in two 14-year-old males who had previous trauma and then underwent open epiphyseal reduction and fixation with modified Dunn procedure. Postoperative evaluation showed there were no cases of avascular necrosis. In addition, the anatomy of the femoral epiphysis was successfully restored, as indicated by a residual slip angle ranging from 4° to 8°, which was considered minimal and not clinically significant. Discussion: The modified Dunn procedure with a retinacular soft tissue flap approach provides the opportunity to perform anatomical reduction of the displaced femoral epiphysis while allowing visual monitoring of femoral head perfusion through the retinacular tissue. When performed by an experienced operator and with careful and precise surgical technique, this procedure has been shown to produce favorable outcomes, both in terms of low AVN rates, functional improvement, and prevention of osteoarthritis progression. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the modified Dunn technique may be an effective and safe option in the management of SCFE, especially in patients with moderate to severe degrees of slippage. With this approach, not only joint stability can be maintained, but also the anatomical shape of the femoral head can be restored as close to normal as possible.

Abstract

Dental and oral health issues, particularly dental caries, remain a significant health problem in preschool-aged children. Poor independent and correct tooth-brushing skills increase the risk of tooth decay. One effective way to improve tooth-brushing skills is through health education using interactive video media. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education using video media on improving tooth-brushing skills in preschool-aged children at Nur Handayani Kindergarten, Telaga Biru District. The study design used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest method. The subjects were 41 children aged 5-6 years. Health education was provided through interactive video media for 30-60 minutes. Data collection was conducted through observations before and after the intervention. Data analysis used the non-parametric Wilcoxon statistical test due to the non-normal distribution of the data. Before the intervention, the majority of respondents (78%) had poor tooth-brushing skills. After the provision of health education using video media, there was a significant increase, with the proportion of good categories reaching 46.3% and sufficient categories reaching 48.8%. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), proving that the intervention had a statistically significant effect on improving tooth-brushing skills. Health education using video media effectively improved tooth-brushing skills in preschool-aged children. Interactive video media captured children's attention and facilitated their understanding of proper tooth-brushing techniques.
