Efektivitas Fungsi Pengawasan DPR di Tengah Dominasi Koalisi Gemuk
No full textThis study examines the phenomenon of oversized coalitions in Indonesian politics and their impact on the legislative role in exercising oversight over the executive branch. In a democratic context, the presence of large coalitions in parliament is often associated with a diminished balance between the legislative and executive branches, particularly concerning the essential mechanism of checks and balances. The primary issue investigated is how this political configuration affects the effectiveness of parliamentary oversight, specifically regarding the monitoring of public policy implementation and government accountability. By employing a normative legal approach and analyzing specific public policy implementations, this research assesses the impact of oversized coalitions on the legislative body\u27s capacity to perform its functions optimally. The findings indicate challenges in achieving effective oversight within an oversized coalitions system, particularly concerning the limited role of the opposition, which is crucial for strengthening the democratic process
Evaluating the Impact of System, Information, and Service Quality on User Outcomes in Malaysian Public Hospitals: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach
No full textBackground: Increasing use of hospital information systems (HIS) underscores the need to evaluate their impact on User Satisfaction and Perceived Net Benefits. This study investigated the connections among outsourced System Quality, Information Quality, Service Quality, Perceived Usefulness, User Satisfaction, and Perceived Net Benefits in the context of Malaysian public hospitals.
Methods: Data were collected from 1,376 healthcare personnel across six public hospitals and analyzed using structural equation modeling through analysis of moment structures grounded in the DeLone and McLean Information Systems Success Model.
Results: System and Service Qualities significantly influenced User Satisfaction and Perceived Usefulness, while Information Quality impacted Satisfaction indirectly. Perceived usefulness emerged as the strongest predictor of Perceived Net Benefits, followed by User Satisfaction, emphasizing their crucial mediating roles. Service Quality substantially impacted user perceptions, highlighting the relevance of technical support and system reliability. Conversely, Information Quality had a less direct effect, reflecting its dependence on user satisfaction for driving benefits.
Conclusions: These results underscore the relevance of improving System and Service Qualities to enhance HIS effectiveness. The practical implications include prioritizing system upgrades, responsive support, and user training to maximize satisfaction and perceived benefits
The Relationship Between Religious Attitude and Breastfeeding Attitude: A Cross-Sectional Study from Türkiye
No full textBackground: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between religious attitudes and breastfeeding attitudes and the effect of this relationship on breastfeeding practices.
Methods: This study was conducted with 203 mothers with babies aged 0–24 months. Simple random sampling was used in sample selection. The Religious Attitude Scale and Breastfeeding Attitudes of the Evaluation Scale were used in data collection.
Results: A significant relationship was found between religious attitudes and breastfeeding attitudes. Additionally, mothers\u27 negative breastfeeding attitudes and positive breastfeeding attitudes were found to be close to each other. The time it took for mothers to start breastfeeding their babies, the time they thought about breastfeeding their babies, the time it took to start their babies on supplementary food, and whether they fed their babies exclusively with breast milk were not found at the desired levels.
Conclusions: As a result, religious attitudes and breastfeeding attitudes are related. This relationship can be used to initiate and maintain breastfeeding
INTEGRATING TRADITIONAL ECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE FOR SUSTAINABLE LAKE CONSERVATION: DANU KERTHI IN BALI
No full textThis study investigates how the Danu Kerthi philosophy operates as a framework that integrates Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) with environmental science to support sustainable lake conservation in three upstream lakes in Bali: Beratan, Buyan, and Tamblingan. While previous scholarship has largely focused on the normative and symbolic dimensions of Sad Kerthi, empirical evidence on its ecological effectiveness remains limited. To address this gap, the study adopts a multi-site qualitative design involving participatory observation, document analysis, and semi-structured interviews with 30 participants representing traditional leaders, Hindu priests, tourism managers, village officials, and local residents. Thematic analysis shows that Danu Kerthi continues to function as an ethical and spiritual system that shapes collective awareness of Tirta\u27s sanctity and informs community-based stewardship. However, its practical implementation is constrained by weak enforcement of awig-awig (customary law), tourism pressures, and escalating pollution, particularly plastic waste and agricultural runoff. These constraints are reflected in measurable ecological stress indicators reported in secondary environmental data, including declining water clarity, increased nutrient loading, microplastic contamination, and sedimentation linked to land-use change. The findings reveal a persistent gap between the symbolic potency of ritual practices and their limited capacity to mitigate ecological degradation. This study contributes to eco-theology and TEK discourse by demonstrating that customary environmental ethics remain socially influential but require alignment with formal regulatory instruments and scientific monitoring to achieve tangible ecological improvements. The implications underscore the need for adaptive conservation models that integrate customary values, environmental policy, and empirical ecological data to strengthen the long-term sustainability of Bali’s upland lake ecosystems
Impact of Ethanol on the Evolution of One-Step Synthesized Gold Nanoplates and Nanostars and Their Effects on Raman Signal Enhancement
No full textGold nanoplates and nanostars were synthesized from a gold metal salt solution (HAuCl4) using a one-step synthesis method of ultraviolet C (UVC) light irradiation. The gold salt solution was mixed with ethanol in 6 mL with the following ratios: (1.5:4.5, 3:3, and 4.5:1.5), and subsequently irradiated with UVC light. Changes in localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) shifts were observed in real time at 30-min intervals for 2 h. The synthesis process produces gold nanoplates. While gold nanostars were synthesized from a solution of gold salt combined with ethanol, ascorbic acid, and AgNO3, maintaining a consistent ratio of ion solution to ethanol similar to that of nanoplates and mixed with 50 μL of ascorbic acid and different concentrations of AgNO3 (10 μL, 50 μL, and 100 μL), followed by UVC light irradiation. Changes in LSPR were also monitored in real time every 30 min for 2 h. The findings indicated that the optimal synthesis of gold nanoplates and nanostars occurred at a 3 mL:3 mL ratio of ion solution to ethanol, with the addition of 100 μL of AgNO3 for nanostars, as evidenced by the results of TEM characterization. Subsequently, gold nanoplates and nanostars were deposited onto silicon wafers with a volume of 1 mL and dried on a hot plate. They were then dropped with the paraquat pesticide analyte and analyzed using portable Raman spectroscopy at a wavelength of 785 nm. This result demonstrates that gold nanostars enhanced the Raman signal more significantly than gold nanoplates. This study is beneficial for creating an efficient and rapid detection method for the pesticide paraquat, which remains prevalent in Indonesia despite being prohibited in other nations. The quality of nanoparticles, such as gold nanostars, which have strong plasmonic properties and can enhance the sensitivity of the Raman signal, significantly affects the detection of analytes using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, thereby facilitating an easier and rapid detection process for paraquat pesticide
Fast Dispersion-Curve Inversion using Automatic Differentiation Gradient-Based Calculation
No full textSurface wave inversion is a crucial technique in geophysics for subsurface imaging. However, traditional methods can be computationally intensive, especially for complex models. This study introduces automatic differentiation (AD) as an efficient alternative to finite difference (FD) methods for gradient calculation in surface wave inversion. We compare AD and FD methods using three synthetic examples of varying complexity. Our results demonstrate that AD is significantly faster, with speed improvements of 3 to 12 times over FD, depending on model complexity. Moreover, AD requires up to 3 times less memory than FD. In terms of accuracy, AD provides gradient calculations that are exact up to machine precision, while FD is subject to truncation errors. This improved accuracy translates to more reliable inversion results, particularly for complex models. The efficiency and accuracy gains of AD are especially beneficial for gradient-based inversion methods in geophysics, where computational resources often limit the scale and complexity of problems that can be addressed. Our findings suggest that integrating AD into gradient-based inversion methods could significantly enhance subsurface imaging techniques across various geophysical applications
Evaluasi Keselamatan Alat Permainan Edukatif (APE) dan Penataan Area Bermain Outdoor di Dua Taman Kanak-Kanak
No full textEducational Play Equipment (APE) is one of the facilities provided by Early Childhood Education (PAUD) institutions to support the learning process through play. This study aims to assess the compliance of APE and the arrangement of outdoor play areas with the 2018 Guidelines for Managing PAUD Classroom Space, SNI 9169:2023, the Ministry of Education and Culture’s 2021 Safe APE Guidelines for Early Childhood, and Ministerial Regulation No. 3 of 2022. The study employs a qualitative design with a descriptive approach through facility observations, interviews with teaching staff, and a review of school documents. The data analysis process includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The findings indicate that Kindergartens X and Y have not fully met the required safety standards. Both schools still show insufficient attention to the stability of playground equipment, and several materials used may pose potential hazards to children. Such conditions can increase the risk of accidents in the play area, including bumps, falls, pinching injuries, and cuts. Therefore, repairs and replacements of unsafe equipment, rearrangement of play structures, improvements to the play surface using softer materials, and strengthened supervision by teachers and parents are needed to reduce the risk of injury. With these measures, children can play in an environment that is safer and minimizes potential hazards.
