Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Boalemo Regency Regional Regulation Number 5 of 2014 concerning the Management of Mineral and Coal Mining in controlling Unlicensed Gold Mining (PETI) activities in Paguyaman District and identify factors that hinder its implementation. This study uses a descriptive approach with case studies and qualitative research types. The research was carried out in Paguyaman District, Boalemo Regency, Gorontalo Province, from January 23 to February 23, 2026. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation studies involving local government officials, law enforcement officials, community leaders, and communities involved or affected by PETI. Data analysis was carried out thematically and narratively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawn, and verification by triangulation of sources. The results of the study show that the implementation of Regional Regulation No. 5 of 2014 has not been carried out effectively. Based on the theory of Van Meter and Van Horn, weaknesses were found in the clarity of operational objectives, limited resources, unstructured inter-organizational communication, fragmentation of the authority of implementing agencies, attitudes of officials who tend to be ambivalent, and social, economic, and political conditions that are not conducive. Meanwhile, Daniel W. Bromley's institutional perspective shows that the weak rules of the game, the unavailability of People's Mining Areas (WPR), inconsistent enforcement of sanctions, and the strong informal norms of the community regarding mining rights are the main factors that maintain PETI activities. Therefore, PETI control in Paguyaman District requires strengthening institutions and resources, more integrated inter-agency coordination, consistent law enforcement, land conflict resolution, and providing alternative livelihoods and legal people's mining locations.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of fiqh learning as a local content subject within Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and its contribution to improving students’ competencies at SMP Tarbiyatus Sibyan Waibu, Jayapura Regency, Papua. The competencies examined comprise cognitive knowledge, affective religious attitudes, and psychomotor skills in performing religious practices. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the curriculum management, PAI/fiqh teacher, and students. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification, while credibility was strengthened through triangulation, member checking, and persistent observation. The findings indicate that fiqh learning was implemented through three main stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. Planning involved the preparation of learning objectives, teaching materials, lesson plans, and practical learning resources. Implementation employed interactive lectures, group discussions, question-and-answer sessions, case studies, demonstrations, and direct practice of worship, including ablution, prayer, fasting, zakat, and funeral prayer. Evaluation covered cognitive tests, observation of religious attitudes, and assessment of practical worship skills. The study reports an increase in the average examination score from 72 before the local-content program to 85 after its implementation, while approximately 90% of students were able to perform ablution according to the taught Sunnah in the practical simulation. Improvements were also observed in prayer discipline, religious awareness, social concern, and students’ ability to apply fiqh in daily life. Supporting factors included teacher competence, school and foundation support, parental involvement, adequate worship facilities, and a religious school culture. Major constraints included limited instructional time, limited contextual learning media and locally based fiqh textbooks, differences in students’ prior religious knowledge, and some limitations in practical resources. The study concludes that contextual and practice-oriented fiqh learning can strengthen students’ knowledge, attitudes, and practical religious competencies when supported by an enabling school environment.

Abstract

Background: Nurses are health professionals who interact directly with patients and therefore play an essential role in preventing healthcare-associated and nosocomial infections, particularly in intensive care settings. This study examined the factors associated with nurses’ behavior in preventing nosocomial infections in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of RSUD Dr. M.M. Dunda Limboto. Methods: A quantitative correlational study with an observational approach was conducted in October–November 2025. The population comprised all 27 nurses working in the ICU, and total sampling was used. Data were collected using questionnaires and observation. The study assessed knowledge, compliance, workload, and nosocomial infection-prevention behavior. Univariate analysis was used to describe the variables, while bivariate analysis used the Pearson Chi-Square test with a 95% confidence level. Results: Most respondents had good knowledge (15; 55.6%), good compliance (18; 66.7%), good workload status (16; 59.3%), and good infection-prevention behavior (16; 59.3%). Knowledge was not significantly associated with infection-prevention behavior (p=0.096). In contrast, compliance was significantly associated with infection-prevention behavior (p=0.006), as was workload (p=0.045). Conclusion: Compliance showed the strongest statistical association among the three factors examined. Strengthening adherence to infection-prevention procedures, supported by continuing education, training, supervision, adequate facilities, and appropriate workload management, is recommended to improve the quality and safety of nursing care in the ICU.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in local economic development, yet their competitiveness depends heavily on the quality and effectiveness of government empowerment programs. This study examines the effectiveness of the MSME empowerment program implemented by the Department of Cooperatives, Industry, and Trade (Disperindagkop) of North Bolaang Mongondow Regency in improving MSME competitiveness. The study employed a qualitative descriptive case-study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observation, and documentation from 11 purposively selected informants representing government officials, an MSME facilitator, and MSME owners in Pinogaluman, Kaidipang, and Bintauna subdistricts. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman and interpreted through Mahmudi’s program-effectiveness framework consisting of input, process, output, and outcome dimensions. The findings show that the program was partially effective. At the input level, competent implementing personnel and supporting facilities were available, but budget constraints and an inadequate number of facilitators limited program coverage. The implementation process demonstrated cross-agency coordination and regular field visits, but participant coverage, participation, follow-up assistance, and outcome-based monitoring remained limited. The program produced tangible outputs in the form of entrepreneurship training, production equipment assistance, and business licensing facilitation. However, these outputs did not consistently translate into improved competitiveness. Financial performance remained stagnant or only marginally improved, product innovation was limited, market access remained predominantly local, digital technology adoption was very low, and product certification was still incomplete. The main barriers were budget efficiency policies, limited facilitators, inadequate capital after training, uneven digital infrastructure, and varying levels of participant engagement. The study recommends integrating training with post-training financing, expanding collaborative mentoring, adopting locally adaptive digitalization strategies, developing product-cluster-based assistance, and strengthening outcome-based monitoring and evaluation.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of personal branding on Instagram on the consumptive lifestyle behavior of Communication Science students at Sriwijaya University, cohorts 2022–2025, and to determine the magnitude of this influence. The development of social media, particularly Instagram, encourages students to build self-images through various types of content displaying particular identities, activities, and lifestyles, thereby influencing students’ consumption patterns in everyday life. This study employed a quantitative method with a field research approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 active Communication Science students at Sriwijaya University, cohorts 2022–2025, selected using the Slovin formula with a 10% margin of error. Data analysis included validity, reliability, normality, linearity, and simple linear regression tests using SPSS version 25. The independent variable was personal branding on Instagram, while the dependent variable was students’ consumptive lifestyle behavior. This study applied Uses and Gratifications Theory, which explains that individuals actively use social media to fulfill needs for information, entertainment, self-identity, and social recognition. The results showed that personal branding on Instagram has a positive and significant influence on students’ consumptive lifestyle behavior. The higher the intensity with which students build personal branding on Instagram, the higher their tendency toward consumptive behavior, such as impulsive buying, following trends, and consuming for satisfaction and social recognition.

Abstract

Background: Thalassemia is a hereditary blood disorder with a high prevalence in Indonesia, especially in areas with a history of consanguineous marriages and high carrier rates. Screening awareness in adolescents plays an important role in preventing the birth of children with thalassemia major. Objective: To analyze factors related to thalassemia screening awareness in adolescents from families with thalassemia. Methods: This quantitative analytical study used a cross-sectional design. The sample was adolescents aged 15–24 years who had family members with thalassemia (n = 120). The instruments included questionnaires on characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, family support, and access to information. Analysis used chi-square and logistic regression. Results: Factors significantly related to thalassemia screening awareness were knowledge level (p<0.001), attitude towards screening (p=0.002), family support (p=0.001), experience caring for thalassemia family members (p=0.03), and access to health information (p=0.004). The most dominant factor was family support (OR=3.9). Conclusion: Thalassemia screening awareness in adolescents is influenced by various personal, social, and environmental factors. Intensive family-based education and adolescent health services are needed to increase awareness of early thalassemia screening.

Abstract

This study explores how work engagement, organizational culture, and employee loyalty shape employee performance, with particular attention to the role of sustainability strategy in a post-merger state-owned port operator. A qualitative embedded case study was conducted at PT Pelindo Multi Terminal, involving five purposively selected managerial and strategic informants representing human capital, terminal operations, corporate strategy, and sustainability functions. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and internal document reviews, and were analyzed using thematic analysis supported by coding, constant comparison, analytic memos, and data triangulation. The findings indicate that work engagement contributes to proactive problem-solving, responsiveness, and employee involvement in operational activities, while organizational culture provides behavioral direction and shared values. Employee loyalty supports organizational continuity and commitment, particularly during post-merger transformation. However, these employee-related factors do not consistently translate into performance when sustainability practices are not sufficiently integrated into organizational processes and performance management. Sustainability strategy emerged as a structural and contextual mechanism through which employee engagement, cultural alignment, and loyalty can be translated into more visible and sustainable performance outcomes. The findings further reveal that post-merger cultural heterogeneity, differences in organizational readiness, and uneven internalization of sustainability values can constrain this process. The study contributes to the strategic human resource management literature by highlighting the importance of integrating sustainability strategy with employee-related organizational resources and performance management. Practically, the findings suggest the need for stronger sustainability-oriented performance indicators, participatory mechanisms, and cross-unit cultural integration within post-merger state-owned port organizations.

Abstract

The implementation of the Free Health Check Policy, which provides complimentary health screening services to all Indonesian citizens at community health centers (Puskesmas), was initiated to improve public access to healthcare services, increase awareness of the importance of regular health examinations, and encourage greater community participation in preventive health practices. The policy is implemented through the early detection of risk factors and pre-disease conditions by Puskesmas, enabling timely interventions to prevent the onset of diseases or to stop existing conditions from progressing to more severe stages, thereby making treatment more effective. This study aims to examine the extent to which the community in Makassar City, particularly those within the service area of Sudiang Community Health Center (Puskesmas Sudiang), has accessed this service and to identify the challenges encountered in implementing the policy. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, documentation, and document analysis, followed by data interpretation and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the program has not been adequately disseminated to the public. Since its launch in February 2025, the program has reached only 3% of the total target population within the service area of Puskesmas Sudiang, based on data obtained from the ASIK application dashboard as of May 17, 2026. The study reveals that this low level of participation is primarily attributable to insufficient public dissemination of the program, limited resources, and suboptimal support from healthcare personnel.

Abstract

The constitutional question mechanism has been implemented in various countries with established constitutional justice systems. However, Indonesia's constitutional system has not yet incorporated this mechanism into the authority of the Constitutional Court. Consequently, judges in the general, religious, military, and administrative courts do not have the authority to refer constitutional questions to the Constitutional Court when they encounter doubts regarding the constitutionality of a legal norm that must be applied in a concrete case. This study aims to analyze the problems surrounding the constitutional question in the practice of judicial power in Indonesia, identify the factors underlying the non-implementation of this mechanism, and formulate an ideal concept for its institutionalization within Indonesia's constitutional justice system. This study employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, case, and comparative approaches. Legal materials were obtained through library research, including legislation, Constitutional Court decisions, books, and relevant scientific journals, and were subsequently analyzed qualitatively using legal interpretation methods. The results show that the non-implementation of the constitutional question mechanism is primarily attributable to the limitations of Article 24C of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and the Constitutional Court Law, which currently regulate judicial review based on applications submitted by parties possessing legal standing. This condition creates a gap in the mechanism through which judges can obtain constitutional assessment before applying a legal norm in a concrete case, potentially weakening the protection of citizens' constitutional rights and creating legal uncertainty. In addition, the absence of procedural regulations governing the constitutional question mechanism and the lack of an established functional relationship between the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court constitute significant obstacles to its implementation. This study concludes that the institutionalization of the constitutional question can be achieved through amendments to the Constitutional Court Law by incorporating it as part of the constitutional review mechanism already exercised by the Constitutional Court, without requiring an amendment to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The institutionalization of this mechanism is expected to strengthen constitutional supremacy, enhance legal certainty, promote consistency in judicial decisions, and provide more effective protection of citizens' constitutional rights.
