Abstract

Police discretion is central to community policing, influencing how law enforcement officers interpret and apply the law in everyday interactions. In Harare Metropolitan Province, police discretion is particularly visible in informal market areas and at urban roadblocks, where enforcement practices often appear inconsistent. Although statutory frameworks guide police authority, a gap remains between legal expectations and the practical application of discretion, contributing to community mistrust and weakened police legitimacy. This research examines: (1) the nature of discretionary policing in Harare, (2) the institutional and socio-political factors influencing discretionary decision-making, and (3) the effects of discretionary practices on police–community relations. Understanding these dynamics is important for strengthening democratic policing and promoting public trust. A qualitative research design was adopted, utilizing secondary data from academic literature, legal documents, policy reports, and recent empirical studies relevant to policing in Zimbabwe. Findings show that police discretion is shaped by resource limitations, weak oversight mechanisms, and socio-political influences. In areas such as Mbare Musika, Machipisa, and major commuter routes within Harare Metropolitan Province, police discretionary decisions frequently lack consistency and transparency, leading to perceptions of selective law enforcement and diminished community cooperation. Discretionary policing practices have significant implications for public trust and the effectiveness of community policing. Strengthening accountability systems, improving law enforcement officers' training, and enhancing collaborative police–community engagement are recommended to restore legitimacy and support safer community environments.

Abstract

Acne (Acne Vulgaris) has now developed into a very annoying skin disease that can even leave scars (acne scar). Records from Indonesian cosmetic dermatology continue to increase, namely 60% of acne vulgaris sufferers in 2006, 80% in 2007 and 90% in 2009. Propionibecterium acnes is one of the pathogenic bacteria that plays a role in the onset of acne vulgaris and inflammatory diseases. Lemon water (Citrus limon) is known to contain limonene and quercetin, which are able to act as anti-inflammatory and inhibit the growth of P.acnes. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of adding lemon water extract to face toner preparations to inhibit the growth of P. acnes. The extraction method used was maceration using ethanol and methanol solvents and was carried out for 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours, in this study using 5 days (120 hours). The concentration of extracts used is 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%. The bacterial test method used is the diffusion of paper disk or nutrient agar with observations carried out every 12 hours. The results of the one-way-ANOVA statistical test showed no significant difference in the change in the concentration of lemon peel extract in the face toner preparation to the diameter of the P. acnes growth inhibition zone (p > 0.05). Based on research conducted for 120 hours, maceration has the highest quercetin content with methanol solvent, but the best antibacterial activity is face toner with lemon water extract content with ethanol solvent. The addition of 1% lemon water extract already had bacterial activity, but P. acnes was able to resist faster compared to higher concentrations.

Abstract

The misuse of personal data by certain individuals, including individuals within business entities, has become a form of loss for many people, growing alongside advances in digital technology, where various activities can now be conducted digitally. Since 2021, numerous cases of consumer data breaches have occurred. Although the Personal Data Protection Law (PDP) has been enacted, its implementation still faces various obstacles, such as a lack of effective oversight, the absence of an independent authority fully responsible for personal data protection, and a lack of awareness among digital businesses regarding compliance with the new regulations. The type of study undertaken is a normative legal study (library legal research), as indicated by the title of this thesis. The data sources for this research are secondary data. Legal concepts, legal ideas, legal doctrines, and relevant regulations can be cited, copied, and analyzed to obtain secondary data from library research. The approach used in this thesis is the normative legal approach. The problem in this thesis discusses the Legal Certainty for Consumers Who Experience Personal Data Violations in Digital Business Transactions Based on Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection and Legal Protection Efforts for Personal Data Consumers Harmed by Digital Business Transactions. The analysis and discussion found that Legal Certainty for Consumers who experience Personal Data Violations in Digital Business Transactions based on Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection can be seen in the provisions of Articles 7 to 14 of the PDP Law. Specifically, the legal certainty of consumer protection for their personal data can be seen in the provisions of Article 12 Paragraph (1) of the PDP Law, which essentially states that personal data subjects have the right to sue and receive compensation for violations of the processing of Personal Data about them. In addition, everyone has the right to view, change, delete, and limit the processing method of personal data, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 15 to 20 of the PDP Law. The Consumer Protection Law does not include a single article regulating the legal certainty of consumer personal data protection. The provisions of Article 45 of the Consumer Protection Law only state that Consumers can file a lawsuit based on Article 45 of the Consumer Protection Law if they feel they have been harmed by Business Actors.

Abstract

This study aims to examine various literature that discusses the implementation of guidance and counseling (BK) management systems in regular schools in the context of inclusive education. The research was conducted using the narrative literature review method on national sources indexed by SINTA and several relevant international articles. The results of the study show that the BK management system plays an important role in supporting the success of inclusive education, especially at the stage of planning, implementing, and evaluating services that are oriented to the individual needs of students. However, implementation in the field still faces obstacles, such as the limited competence of BK teachers in handling students with special needs (including slow learners), lack of coordination across professions, and lack of policy support from schools. This study recommends the need to strengthen the capacity of BK teachers, the development of school policies that favor diversity, and the use of technology in the BK management system.

Abstract

The development of the generation of teachers in the modern era of education raises questions about the extent to which generational differences affect professional abilities, including in terms of multicultural skills. This study aims to determine the difference in the level of multicultural skills in teachers across generations, namely Generation X, Millennials, and Z. This study uses a comparative quantitative approach with a descriptive analysis method. The research instrument is in the form of a multicultural skills questionnaire. The sample in this study is 120 teachers grouped into various generational groups. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that the average multicultural skill score in the generation X teacher group was 149.81, the Millennial generation teacher group was 148.36, and the generation Z teacher group was 148.07. Based on these results, it shows that multicultural skills in all generation groups are in the high category.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Iwaka District expansion policy in Mimika Regency within the framework of asymmetric decentralization in Papua. The policy reflects an effort to operationalize Indonesia’s special autonomy mandate (Law No. 2 of 2021) by extending state presence and improving public service delivery in geographically remote areas. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and a single-case design, the research collected data through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis conducted in August 2025. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, focusing on four dimensions of policy implementation proposed by Edwards III—communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure—complemented by Grindle’s policy content-context framework and Rondinelli’s theory of asymmetric decentralization. The findings indicate that although the Iwaka expansion has not fully met administrative criteria under Government Regulation No. 17 of 2018, its implementation demonstrates strong social legitimacy and affirmative intent to enhance service accessibility. The main challenges include limited human resources, inadequate infrastructure, and weak inter-agency coordination. Overall, the Iwaka case highlights that successful implementation of asymmetric decentralization depends not only on legal compliance but also on contextual governance capacity, local participation, and institutional adaptation. The study concludes that the Iwaka expansion serves as a strategic instrument for strengthening local governance and state legitimacy in Papua’s special autonomy region.

Abstract

Comorbid conditions like diabetes and hypertension can have an impact on presbycusis, which is common in the elderly. This cross-sectional study assessed 58 senior citizens (60 years of age and older) at the Binjai Elderly Social Services Unit. Blood pressure (JNC 2017 categories) and blood sugar were measured, and pure-tone audiometry was used to evaluate hearing. Blood pressure and blood sugar levels did not significantly correlate with the extent of hearing loss in either ear, according to Spearman correlation analysis (all p-values > 0.05). These results imply that the degree of age-related hearing loss in this research is not connected with blood pressure or blood sugar levels.

Abstract

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a skin disorder resulting from contact with an allergenic substance. Most cases of ACD are caused by cosmetic ingredients and daily-use products. We report a case of ACD caused by sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and fragrance in soap, confirmed by positive patch test results. A 29-year-old woman with chronic persistent itching that did not improve with medication presented to the Dermatovenereology Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Moewardi Hospital. She had a history of using virgin coconut oil (VCO) and various handwashing soaps. Dermatological examination revealed multiple erythematous macules with overlying scales and xerotic skin, suggestive of ACD. The patient underwent a patch test with standard materials as well as personal products she brought to confirm the diagnosis. The patch test showed a positive allergic reaction to Sunlight® liquid soap, Biore® liquid soap, Cerianerss® lychee-flavored VCO, One Scrub Onemed® 4%, and Paquito® liquid soap. Patch testing is an important and useful tool for diagnosing ACD. Although the procedure is simple, it requires several days for evaluation. In this case, we identified the products responsible for ACD in our patient and advised her to avoid them. Several substances with allergenic potential were identified by comparing product compositions with patch test results. However, these findings could not determine which specific compounds were allergenic. Hence, further patch testing of individual compounds is necessary.

Abstract

Cystitis, often caused by Escherichia coli, triggers inflammation and tissue damage in the bladder. While the anti-adhesion properties of cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) against uropathogenic bacteria are well known, its role in the subsequent healing phase, particularly through modulation of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), remains poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the effect of cranberry fruit extract on VEGF levels and the degree of histopathological inflammation in a cystitis model. Fosfomycin trometamol is an effective antibiotic for treating urinary tract infections, particularly bacterial cystitis. However, the observed increase in Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) levels during treatment is not a direct effect of the drug but rather a biological response associated with the body’s natural healing process. In cystitis, inflammation and tissue damage in the bladder wall trigger the release of various cytokines and chemokines, including VEGF, which plays a key role in angiogenesis and tissue regeneration. Fosfomycin works by reducing bacterial load and inflammation, thereby allowing the body to enter the active healing phase. During this phase, increased VEGF levels reflect ongoing tissue repair and new blood vessel formation. Therefore, the elevation of VEGF should be interpreted not as a side effect of fosfomycin but as a biological marker of bladder tissue recovery following successful infection clearance.
