Abstract

Organizational change in government institutions requires employees who are adaptive and creative so that public services remain effective and responsive. Prior studies on employee creativity in the public sector have largely been descriptive and quantitative at a general level, with limited attention to how creativity is actually enacted within a one-stop licensing service undergoing digital transformation. This study addresses that gap by examining how employee creativity manifests during organizational change at the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office (DPMPTSP) of Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. A qualitative case study approach was used, drawing on 12 purposively selected informants (structural officials and frontline staff) through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and document review; data were analyzed using an interactive model (data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing) with source and method triangulation to establish credibility. The findings show that employee creativity is expressed through four recurring practices: work-process innovation, adoption of digital technology, simplification of service procedures, and initiative in problem-solving, while its distribution remains uneven across work units because of individual risk aversion and inconsistent managerial support. This study contributes a contextual model linking leadership openness, gaps in the reward system, and the enactment of creativity in local e-government service delivery, offering practical guidance for strengthening an innovation culture in comparable public agencies.

Abstract

Local government asset management is an important aspect in realizing accountable and transparent governance. However, in practice, asset management still faces various problems, such as administrative disorder, inaccurate data, and weak supervision. Along with the development of information technology, digital transformation is seen as a strategic solution to improve the quality of government asset management. This research aims to examine the implementation of digital transformation in government asset management at the Takalar Regency Regional Finance and Assets Agency and identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that the implementation of the regional asset management information system has improved administrative order, the quality of asset data, and the transparency and accountability of local government asset management. However, the implementation of digital transformation is not fully optimal because it is still faced with limited human resource competencies, work culture adaptation, and technology infrastructure support. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed to strengthen the capacity of apparatus, internal policies, and infrastructure to optimize the benefits of digital transformation in the management of local government assets.

Abstract

Gastritis is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa that remains a common health problem among adults, often associated with irregular dietary patterns and excessive coffee consumption. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between dietary patterns and coffee consumption with the incidence of gastritis among adults at UPT Puskesmas Pagar Merbau, Deli Serdang Regency, using a quantitative cross-sectional design with 30 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire and analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with Spearman’s rank test. The results indicated that most respondents had poor dietary patterns (60.0%), high coffee consumption (66.7%), and severe gastritis (83.3%). Bivariate analysis revealed significant relationships between dietary patterns (r = 0.531; p = 0.003) and coffee consumption (r = 0.441; p = 0.015) with the incidence of gastritis, with moderate strength and positive direction. This indicates that poorer dietary patterns and higher coffee consumption are associated with more severe gastritis. Therefore, maintaining regular dietary habits and limiting coffee consumption are important preventive measures.

Abstract

Acute respiratory tract infection (ARI) is one of the health problems frequently found in primary health care facilities. Pharyngitis is included in the group of ARI that frequently occurs, both in children and adults. Age and gender factors are thought to play a role in the variation of pharyngitis incidence compared to non-pharyngitis ARI. To determine the relationship between age and gender and the incidence of pharyngitis compared to non-pharyngitis ARI at Tanjung Rejo Health Center in 2025. This study used an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population was all patients with a diagnosis of ARI based on medical records at Tanjung Rejo Health Center in 2025, totaling 483 patients. Samples were taken using al simple random sampling technique with the Slovin formula, resulting in a sample size of 219 respondents. Data were analyzed using the chi-square statistical test (p<0.05). The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between age and the incidence of pharyngitis and non-pharyngitis ARI (p value = 0.004), and there was no significant relationship between gender and the incidence of pharyngitis and non-pharyngitis ARI (p value = 0.359). There was a significant relationship between age and the incidence of pharyngitis compared to non-pharyngitis ARI, but there was no significant relationship between gender and the incidence of pharyngitis compared to non-pharyngitis ARI at Tanjung Rejo Health Center in 2025.

Abstract

Background: Men contribute to approximately 50% of infertility cases. Furthermore, around 40% of male infertility is attributed to idiopathic factors. Various factors that lead to male infertility include lifestyle choices such as smoking. Free radicals resulting from cigarette smoke can induce damage to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and apoptosis of spermatozoa cells. Objective: To analyze the effect of giving pasak bumi root extract (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) on the spermatozoa motility of male Wistar rats exposed to nicotine. Method: Fifteen male rats were randomly divided into five groups, with each group consisting of three rats. Groups 1, 2, and 3 were administered nicotine at 1.0 mg/kg body weight (BW) and pasak bumi (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) root extract at doses of 50 mg/kg BW, 100 mg/kg BW, and 200 mg/kg BW, respectively. Group 4 was only given the nicotine preparation, while Group 5 served as the control group. All groups were provided ad libitum food and water for 48 days. On the 49th day, testicles were harvested, and motility examination was conducted. Data analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA. Results: There was an influence of pasak bumi root extract (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) administration at a concentration of 50 mg/kg BW/day on the spermatozoa motility of male Wistar rats exposed to nicotine. There was an effect of pasak bumi root extract (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) at a concentration of 100 mg/kg BW/day on the spermatozoa motility of male Wistar rats exposed to nicotine. There was an effect of pasak bumi root extract (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) at a concentration of 200 mg/kg BW/day on the spermatozoa motility of male Wistar rats exposed to nicotine. Conclusion: Pasak bumi root extract (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) has an impact on the spermatozoa motility of male Wistar rats exposed to nicotine.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by a complex infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Previous research has shown that a history of close contact and medication adherence are risk factors that can exacerbate and increase the potential for pulmonary TB. The purpose of this study was to determine how a history of close contact and medication adherence influence the incidence of pulmonary TB in adults at the Medan Sunggal Community Health Center (UPT Puskesmas) in 2026. This analytical, observational study used a cross-sectional design, where data relating to the independent or risk variables and the dependent or outcome variables were collected simultaneously. The population in this study consisted of all patients recorded in the medical records at the Medan Sunggal Community Health Center between January 1, 2026, and April 26, 2026. The sampling technique used total sampling, and based on available data, a total sample of 82 individuals was obtained. From the results of this study, there is a relationship between the history of close contact and the incidence of tuberculosis with a p-value < 0.05, and there is a relationship between medication adherence and the incidence of tuberculosis with a p-value < 0.05. The results showed a relationship between a history of close contact and medication adherence with the incidence of pulmonary TB in adults at the Medan Sunggal Community Health Center (UPT Puskesmas).

Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) policy in schools represents a strategic government move to enhance human capital quality and combat stunting. However, the success of its implementation hinges significantly on the readiness of stakeholders, including pre-service teachers who will eventually serve as implementers in schools. This study aims to analyze the readiness of pre-service teachers regarding the MBG policy using George C. Edwards III’s policy implementation theory, which encompasses four key indicators: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, utilizing open-ended surveys distributed to fourth-semester students in the Office Administration Education study program. The findings indicate that communication regarding policy dissemination remains limited, while regarding resources, students perceive a need for specialized training in program logistics management. Student disposition reflects a positive and supportive attitude, though there are concerns regarding the burden of ancillary administrative tasks. Regarding bureaucratic structure, clear task allocation (Standard Operating Procedures) is essential to avoid distorting the teacher's primary role of instruction. Overall, pre-service teachers demonstrate good mental readiness but require strengthened managerial competencies before being deployed to schools

Abstract

This study aims to explore the level of ocean literacy among prospective social studies teachers in Makassar and analyze the urgency of coastal-based sustainable education in supporting marine literacy. This study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive-comparative design. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire measuring six dimensions of ocean literacy synthesized from the Ocean Literacy Framework developed by NOAA and UNESCO and UNESCO’s environmental education framework, namelyawareness, knowledge, attitude, education, communication, and behavior. The study involved 185 respondents consisting of Social Studies Education students and teacher professional education (PPG) participants at Universitas Negeri Makassar. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics,Independent Samples T-Test,and Spearman correlation. The findings reveal that the level of ocean literacy among prospective social studies teachers remains predominantly low to moderate across most dimensions. The behavior dimension emerged as the weakest aspect, indicating a knowledge-behavior gap between ecological knowledge and actual environmental behavior. Comparative analysis also showed no significant difference in ocean literacy between Social Studies students and PPG participants. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening coastal-based sustainable education to foster ecological awareness, values, and behaviors that support marine sustainability.

Abstract

The doctrine of Prevenient Grace (Anugerah Pendahulu) is one of the distinctive features of John Wesley’s soteriology, affirming that the initiative of salvation originates entirely from God. This grace operates antecedently in every person, awakening an awareness of sin, restoring the capacity to respond to God’s call, and opening the way to repentance, justification, and sanctification. This study aims to analyze Prevenient Grace as the core of salvation in John Wesley’s doctrine of salvation. The research employs a qualitative method with a library-study approach to Wesley’s primary works and the literature on Wesleyan theology. The findings indicate that Prevenient Grace constitutes the foundation of the entire salvific process, insofar as God’s grace precedes every human response without removing the human freedom to accept or reject it. The doctrine thus underscores a balance between divine sovereignty and human responsibility.
