JURIDICAL ANALYSIS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DISCIPLINARY ENFORCEMENT AGAINST INMATE DEVIANT BEHAVIOR VIOLATIONS BASED ON THE LAW OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA NUMBER 22 OF 2022 CONCERNING CORRECTIONS (Study on Class IIA Women's Correctional Institution Bandar Lampung)
Violations of order by inmates in correctional institutions have the potential to disrupt security and order, so the application of disciplinary punishment is needed as an instrument of law enforcement as well as coaching. This study aims to analyze the implementation of disciplinary punishment against inmates who commit deviant behavior based on Law Number 22 of 2022 concerning Corrections, as well as to examine the effectiveness of sanctions and obstacles to their implementation in the Class IIA Women's Correctional Institution in Bandar Lampung. The research uses a normative juridical method with an empirical approach through literature studies and interviews, then analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study show that the implementation of disciplinary punishment has been carried out in accordance with Law Number 22 of 2022 concerning Correctional Services and Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights Number 8 of 2024 concerning the Implementation of Security and Order in Correctional Work Units. The effectiveness of sanctions is reflected in increasing security and order and supporting the process of fostering inmates. However, its implementation still faces various obstacles, including limited number of security officers, non-optimal CCTV function, less supportive building conditions, diverse character of inmates, limited facilities for further coaching, and repeated violations. Therefore, periodic evaluations, increasing the competence of officers, and strengthening security facilities and infrastructure are needed to increase the effectiveness of the implementation of disciplinary punishment in correctional institutions.

IMPLEMENTATION OF IoT AND MAMDANI FUZZY LOGIC IN A GREENHOUSE DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM
Management of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) greenhouses at BUMDes Kasengan Village, Sumenep, has so far been manual, without standard instruments, so temperature, soil moisture, and light monitoring rely on worker estimates, risking delayed care responses. This study builds an IoT based Decision Support System (DSS) combining an ESP32 microcontroller with DS18B20 (temperature), capacitive soil moisture, and LDR (light) sensors to monitor conditions in real time, automate watering via Mamdani Fuzzy Logic, and generate care recommendations via Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) shown on a website. The system used the Waterfall model: requirement identification, system design, hardware assembly, software implementation, and testing. Sensor data is processed by the ESP32 and sent via Wi-Fi to Blynk Cloud and a MySQL database for real-time access on the web dashboard. Testing showed the DS18B20 sensor had an average deviation of +- 0.4 degree celsius, the soil moisture sensor below 5%, the relay responded within 1 second, and the 5V line stayed stable at 4.92 to 5.08V with the pump active. A three-day field test across 18 observation points showed SAW produced accurate watering decisions and recommendations for every observation, a 100% success rate exceeding the 85% target hypothesis. The system helps BUMDes Kasengan managers monitor conditions remotely, automate watering, and reduce reliance on manual supervisions.

ANALYSIS OF THE DETERMINATION OF NON-CASH FOOD ASSISTANCE RECIPIENTS IN PRENDUAN VILLAGE USING THE SIMPLE ADDITIVE WEIGHTING METHOD
The Non-Cash Food Assistance Program (BPNT) is a national program of the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia that aims to distribute basic food assistance to the underprivileged in a targeted manner. However, in Prenduan Village, Pragaan District, Sumenep Regency, the selection process for prospective recipients is still carried out manually through RT proposals and simple verification without a standardized decision support system. This leads to subjectivity, long processes, and the potential for inaccuracy of targets, where the people who have the right are not recorded or vice versa. This research aims to design and build a web-based decision support system with the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method to support selection in an objective, transparent, measurable, and computerized manner. The criteria used include income, occupation, number of dependents, floor area, floor type, wall type, roof type, electrical power, and land ownership status. Each criterion is weighted based on the level of importance according to applicable guidelines. The system was tested using 150 potential recipient data, with 50% or 75 people designated as recipients based on the highest SAW ranking score. Black-box testing was performed on six scenarios: admin login, criteria input, filling in the score, validating data, calculating SAW, and displaying ranking results, with a 100% success rate. The results of the system's ranking are also proven to be 100% consistent compared to manual calculations.

THE ROLE OF THE REGIONAL INSPECTORATE AS AN APPARATUS GOVERNMENT INTERNAL SUPERVISION (APIP)
The Regional Inspectorate acts as the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP) that oversees the implementation of local government through audit, review, evaluation, and monitoring functions, and has transformed into a strategic partner (trusted advisor) and quality assurance (quality assurance). This study aims to analyze the role of the Regional Inspectorate as APIP of Metro City and the factors that hinder the implementation of its duties by using normative and empirical juridical approaches through primary and secondary data analyzed in a qualitative juridical manner. The results of the study show that juridically, the role of the Metro City Regional Inspectorate already has a legal basis through the Metro Mayor Regulation Number 24 of 2025, but its implementation has not been optimal due to the limitations of functional auditors, the conflict of hierarchical control through the Regional Secretary, budget limitations, the absence of regulations on the protection of auditors' careers, the low transparency of supervisory report results, and the lack of compliance of regional apparatus organizations with the recommendations of the results audit. Therefore, institutional strengthening is needed through the repositioning of the Inspectorate's accountability path to the Mayor, the addition of functional auditors, the increase in the supervision budget, the establishment of regulations for the protection of the auditor profession, and the increase in transparency of supervisory results in order to realize more effective local government accountability.

ANALYSIS OF JUDGES' CONSIDERATIONS WHEN IMPOSING PENALTIES ON PERPETRATORS OF CORRUPTION CRIMES WHERE RETURNING STATE FINANCIAL LOSSES
Corruption is an extraordinary crime that causes losses to state finances and hinders national development. The return of state financial losses by corrupt perpetrators is often used as one of the judges' considerations in imposing a crime, but the return does not remove the criminal liability of the perpetrator. The problem in this study is how the judge considers the crime against the perpetrators of corruption crimes with the return of state financial losses in Decision Number 15/Pid.Sus-TPK/2023/PN Tjk and the factors that cause the perpetrators to commit corruption crimes. This study uses normative and empirical juridical methods with a legislative approach and a case approach. Data was obtained through literature studies and interviews, then analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study show that the judge's consideration in the verdict is in accordance with the judge's theory of consideration according to Mackenzie because it considers the juridical aspects, the facts of the trial, the evidence, as well as the circumstances that aggravate and mitigate the defendant, including the return of state financial losses. The factors that cause corruption crimes are influenced by abuse of office, weak supervision, low moral integrity, and opportunities to obtain personal profits. Thus, the return of state losses is only a factor that mitigates the crime, not the criminal removal of the perpetrators of corruption.

APPLICATION OF WATER TEPID SPONGE TO DECREASE BODY TEMPERATURE IN PRESCHOOLERS (3–6 YEARS) WITH HYPERTHERMIA IN THE CHILDREN'S ROOM OF PINDAD GENERAL HOSPITAL BANDUNG
Hyperthermia is a condition characterized by an elevated body temperature above the normal range, commonly occurring in preschool-aged children due to infection. Children aged 3–6 years have an immature thermoregulatory system, making them more susceptible to complications such as febrile seizures, dehydration, and metabolic disturbances. One of the non-pharmacological interventions that can be used to help reduce body temperature is the water tepid sponge technique. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the water tepid sponge intervention in reducing body temperature among preschool-aged children (3–6 years) with hyperthermia in the Pediatric Ward of RSU Pindad Bandung. A descriptive case study using a nursing care approach was conducted involving four preschool-aged children with hyperthermia. Data were collected through interviews, observations, physical examinations, body temperature measurements, and nursing documentation. The water tepid sponge intervention was administered for 15–30 minutes according to the standard operating procedure (SOP) for three consecutive days. All participants experienced a reduction in body temperature following the intervention. On the first day, the average decrease in body temperature ranged from 1.1°C to 1.2°C. After three days of intervention, the body temperatures of all participants returned to the normal range, between 36.4°C and 36.9°C. The water tepid sponge intervention was found to be effective in reducing body temperature among preschool-aged children with hyperthermia and can be used as a non-pharmacological nursing intervention in the management of fever in children

THE INTEGRATION OF MATHEMATICS AND TECHNOLOGY IN DATA-DRIVEN DECISION MAKING: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Advances in digital technology have driven the transformation of decision-making from an intuition-based approach to a data-driven approach. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data Analytics, and predictive analytics is increasingly widespread across various sectors; however, most research still examines these technologies separately and has not yet fully integrated the role of mathematics as the conceptual foundation supporting the data-driven decision-making process. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the contributions of mathematics and technology in supporting sound decision-making through a synthesis of various recent studies. The study employs a literature review method by examining scientific journal articles, conference proceedings, and reports from international organizations published between 2021 and 2026. The literature was obtained through a systematic search, selected based on topic relevance, and then analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify themes, research trends, and conceptual relationships. The findings indicate that the application of mathematical methods—such as statistics, probability, optimization, and machine learning—combined with AI and Big Data Analytics technologies can improve prediction accuracy, operational efficiency, risk management, and the quality of decision-making in the healthcare, education, business, finance, and government sectors. However, their implementation still faces challenges related to data quality, algorithmic bias, privacy protection, and low data literacy. The research findings emphasize that strengthening mathematical literacy, data literacy, and responsible technology governance are essential prerequisites for realizing adaptive, transparent, and sustainable decision-making systems in the era of digital transformation.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MERDEKA BELAJAR KAMPUS MERDEKA PROGRAM AT INDRAPRASTA PGRI UNIVERSITY
The Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy was introduced to enhance graduates' competencies through experiential learning beyond the classroom. While several studies have examined MBKM implementation in large public universities, limited research has focused on private universities with distinct student demographics, such as Universitas Indraprasta PGRI (Unindra), where many students are in-service teachers or part-time workers. This study aims to analyze the implementation, benefits, and challenges of the MBKM program at Unindra from the students’ perspective. A quantitative descriptive survey was conducted among 30 Unindra students who had participated in MBKM activities. Data were collected via an online questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results revealed that the primary motivation for joining MBKM was to gain new experiences (70%), and 76.7% agreed that the program enabled them to apply theoretical knowledge in real work settings. Key benefits included direct teaching experience (53.3%), new skills (30%), and tuition fee reduction (16.7%). Students also reported enhanced responsibility (60%) and discipline (36.7%). However, 43.3% struggled to balance academic and MBKM tasks, and the same percentage perceived inadequate program planning. These findings suggest that MBKM at Unindra fosters valuable experiential learning yet requires stronger scheduling support and better program design. This study contributes to the literature on MBKM in private teacher-training universities and offers practical recommendations for optimization

IMPLEMENTATION OF FORWARD CHAINING AND CERTAINTY FACTOR METHODS FOR WEB-BASED DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER DIAGNOSIS EXPERT SYSTEM (CASE STUDY AT KALIANGET PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER)
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia, with cases fluctuating substantially over the past five years. In 2024, there was a significant increase with more than 1,400 deaths, while by mid-2025, more than 56,000 cases were recorded. The main challenge in DHF management is the delay in establishing an initial clinical diagnosis, particularly in primary health facilities facing an imbalance between the number of patients and healthcare workers, as well as limited access to diagnostic tools such as NS1 or IgM/IgG testing. This study aims to develop a web-based expert system using Forward Chaining and Certainty Factor inference methods to support the initial screening process for patients with suspected DHF. The system is designed to analyze clinical symptom patterns inputted by healthcare workers, provide a confidence level for each conclusion, and can be accessed in real time. The results provided are indicative and are not intended to replace professional medical diagnosis or laboratory testing. With the implementation of this system, it is hoped that the initial DHF screening process can be carried out more quickly and computerized, thereby optimizing medical service time and improving the quality of primary healthcare services, as exemplified at the Kalianget Community Health Center, Sumenep Regency

THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA USE ON STUDENTS' LEARNING CONCENTRATION: A LITERATURE
The increasing use of social media has significantly influenced students' learning activities. Although social media offers educational benefits, excessive use may reduce students' learning concentration. This study aims to examine the impact of social media use on students' learning concentration through a literature review. A qualitative library research approach was employed by reviewing ten national and international journal articles published within the last five years. The selected studies were analyzed using descriptive qualitative and content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that excessive social media use generally decreases learning concentration by increasing distractions, multitasking, social media addiction, Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), and poor sleep quality. However, social media can also support learning when used for educational purposes, such as accessing learning materials, participating in academic discussions, and improving learning motivation. Overall, the impact of social media depends on its intensity and purpose of use. Therefore, responsible social media use and digital literacy are essential to maximize its educational benefits while minimizing its negative effects on students' learning concentration

GAMIFICATION IN SCIENCE EDUCATION EFFECTS ON STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
Gamification has become an increasingly used instructional approach in science education because it can increase student engagement and support learning outcomes. This paper reviews recent studies on gamification in science education and synthesizes its effects on student engagement and academic performance. The literature indicates that gamification generally improves participation, motivation, persistence, and classroom interaction, while also producing positive effects on achievement in many contexts. However, the magnitude of impact depends on design quality, learning context, and alignment with instructional goals. The paper argues that gamification is most effective when game elements such as points, badges, feedback, challenges, and leaderboards are implemented purposefully rather than added superficially. Based on the reviewed studies, gamification can support science learning by making abstract concepts more accessible and by encouraging active participation. The paper concludes that gamification is a promising strategy in science education, but its effectiveness requires careful pedagogical planning and sustained evaluation

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF ISLAMIC GOOD GOVERNANCE IN THE DIVISION OF POWER: ANALYSIS OF THE FUNCTIONS, MECHANISMS, AND IMPACT OF ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT
This study aims to analyze the implementation of the principles of Islamic good governance in the distribution of power in Islamic government through a study of its functions, mechanisms, and impacts on the implementation of a just government oriented towards the welfare of the people. Good governance from an Islamic perspective not only emphasizes the effectiveness of governance but is also based on the values of shura (deliberation), amanah (trust), justice ('adl), transparency, and accountability. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research approach through analysis of various scientific literature, national and international journals, and Islamic legal sources. The results show that the distribution of power in Islamic government is carried out through the separation of executive, legislative, and judicial functions that supervise each other based on the principles of shura and amanah. The working mechanism between institutions is implemented through deliberation, public oversight, and moral accountability to Allah SWT and the community. The implementation of the principles of Islamic good governance has a positive impact in the form of creating social justice, increasing public trust, preventing corruption, and realizing the public welfare. Thus, the principles of Islamic governance have high relevance in developing a modern government system that is transparent and just

THE ROLE OF STEM EDUCATION IN DEVELOPING 21ST-CENTURY SKILLS: A LITERATURE REVIEW
The rapid development of 21st-century skills demands a transformation in science education, particularly in physics learning at the senior high school level. However, many studies report that physics learning in Indonesia is still dominated by teacher-centered approaches, resulting in suboptimal development of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. This indicates a research gap in synthesizing how STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education contributes to the development of 21st-century skills within physics learning contexts. Therefore, this study aims to analyze and synthesize the role of STEM education in enhancing 21st-century skills in senior high school physics learning. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using a literature review method. The data source consisted of 15 national journal articles published within the last five years, selected through purposive sampling based on relevance to STEM education, physics learning, and 21st-century skills. Data were analyzed using content analysis and thematic synthesis techniques to identify patterns and relationships among variables. The findings indicate that STEM education consistently contributes to improving students’ critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Furthermore, the integration of STEM with Project-Based Learning (PjBL), Problem-Based Learning (PBL), and digital learning media significantly enhances scientific literacy and digital literacy. The study concludes that STEM education plays a crucial role in fostering 21st-century skills holistically in physics learning, making it highly relevant for implementation in senior high school education

THE HISTORY OF THE FORMULATION OF PANCASILA AS THE BASIS OF THE STATE AND ITS RELEVANCE FOR THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION
Pancasila is the foundation of the state and the ideology of the Indonesian nation, born through a long process leading up to Indonesian independence. The formulation of Pancasila involved various national figures in the 1945 session of the Investigating Committee for Preparatory Work for Indonesian Independence (BPUPKI) and the Preparatory Committee for Indonesian Independence (PPKI). This article aims to examine the history of the formulation of Pancasila as the foundation of the state and analyze its relevance for the millennial generation in the era of globalization and digitalization. This research uses a library study method by reviewing various relevant literature, historical documents, and scientific journals. The results show that the values of Pancasila remain relevant as guidelines in facing modern challenges such as individualism, radicalism, digital disinformation, and declining nationalism. Therefore, internalizing the values of Pancasila is important to shape a millennial generation with character, tolerance, and responsibility in social, national, and state life

ANTHROPOLOGICAL APPROACH IN ISLAMIC STUDIES
Anthropology is the science of humans, particularly their origins, physical forms, customs, and beliefs in the past. Epistemologically, anthropology empirically studies various aspects of humans, both as biological and social beings (meaning living in society). Theoretically, anthropology is the observational study of humans, both as biological beings and as beings inextricably linked to others. A more effective approach to anthropology is the holistic method. This method examines the phenomenon under study in a more universal and comprehensive manner, reflecting the culture of the society being studied. This study employed library research, utilizing literature from previous researchers and employing content analysis and constant comparative techniques. The anthropological approach to Islamic studies is the result of research that examines the unique characteristics of Muslims in various regions of the world and how they live while practicing Islam

ISLAMIC EDUCATION POLITICS ; THE EXISTENCE OF FORMAL, INFORMAL AND NON-FORMAL EDUCATION
The politics of Islamic education is the process of policy-making, regulation, and management of Islamic education carried out by the state, society, and educational institutions in order to achieve national educational goals and Islamic values. Islamic education in Indonesia develops through three main channels: formal, informal, and non-formal education. These three channels play a strategic role in shaping the character, morals, spirituality, and intellectual abilities of students. This study aims to analyze the existence of formal, informal, and non-formal education from the perspective of the politics of Islamic education. The research method used is library research with a qualitative descriptive approach. The results show that government policy has provided strong recognition of Islamic education through various regulations, including the integration of madrasahs and Islamic boarding schools into the national education system. Furthermore, informal education within the family and non-formal education developing in society remain important instruments in the process of character formation and internalization of Islamic values. Therefore, synergy between these three educational channels is a key factor in realizing the goals of comprehensive Islamic education
