The Effect of mAs Variation on Noise in Phantom Pelvis Using a Computer Radiography (CR)
The quality of radiographic images is the accuracy of the patient's anatomical representation on the radiographic image. To produce high-quality images, the most important characteristics of radiographic image quality are spatial resolution, contrast resolution, noise, and artifacts. An increase in tube current causes a decrease in noise value. In radiographic imaging, noise is influenced by several factors including the strength of the tube current. Basically the tube current chosen is at the highest mAs that the aircraft can achieve, so that the exposure time can be as short as possible, so as to prevent image blurring caused by movement. This study aims to analyze the influence of mAs varieties on noise on radiographic images. This research was carried out using an experimental study method at Siti Rahma Padang Hospital, on May 27, 2024. Using the phantom pelvis of Baiturrahmah University Padang to obtain the results of the description of five different variations of mAs: mAs 8, mAs 10, mAs 12, mAs 14, mAs 16, with a tube voltage of 70. The data was processed using SPSS using the ANOVA One Way test, in the form of a table. Producing a calculated F value of 4.673 which shows a significant relationship between the strength of the tube current and noise with ap value of 0.002 (< 0.05). This study concluded that there was a significant influence between the results of mAs variation on noise.

AGAMA SEBAGAI ALIENASI Analisis Kritis Atas Pemikiran Karl Marx dalam Perspektif Studi Agama
This article discusses the concept of religion as a form of alienation in Karl Marx’s thought and its relevance to contemporary religious studies. For Marx, religion is not merely a spiritual system but a social phenomenon reflecting economic and political conditions. Religion functions as the “opium of the people,” an ideological instrument that pacifies human suffering under social injustice. This study examines Marx’s theory of alienation and compares it with the ideas of Ludwig Feuerbach, Émile Durkheim, and Max Weber. The analysis shows that although Marx’s theory appears reductionist for viewing religion only through material conditions, it remains vital in understanding the relationship between faith, ideology, and social structures in religious studies.

Operational Risk Management Strategy Formulation of Curup Gangsa Lampung
Tourism activities in open natural environments inherently contain uncertainty that may evolve into operational risks when management control and supporting infrastructure are inadequate. Curup Gangsa Lampung, as a nature-based tourism destination, faces increasing visitor flow without a structured operational risk management system. This study aims to identify operational risk events, map risk levels using a Risk Evaluation Matrix, and formulate relevant mitigation strategies. The research employed a quantitative descriptive approach involving 260 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Importance Performance Analysis (IPA), Risk Evaluation Matrix, and Fishbone Diagram to identify priority risks and root causes. The findings reveal that operational risks originate from both natural and human-related factors, with visitor accidents classified as the most critical risk due to high frequency and impact. Several indicators fall into the “Concentrate Here” quadrant in IPA analysis, particularly signage, toilet conditions, infrastructure maintenance, and WiFi availability. The Fishbone analysis confirms that deficiencies in infrastructure and information accessibility are dominant causal factors. The study concludes that preventive improvements in infrastructure quality and information systems are essential to reduce operational risk exposure and enhance destination sustainability.

GEOELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY FOR AGRICULTURAL WATER RESOURCES IN BUNGAYYA VILLAGE, SELAYAR ISLANDS REGENCY, SOUTH SULAWESI
Water demand for the agricultural sector in island regions continues to increase in line with population growth and land-use intensification (Kodoatie, 1996; Todd & Mays, 2005). One sustainable alternative for water supply is the utilization of groundwater, particularly deep aquifers. This study aims to identify the potential and characteristics of subsurface aquifers using the geoelectrical resistivity method with a Schlumberger configuration in Bungayya Village, Bontomatenne District, Selayar Islands Regency, South Sulawesi Province. Measurements were conducted at a single vertical electrical sounding (VES) point (GL_01) with a maximum current electrode spacing of AB/2 up to 100 m. The inversion results indicate two main subsurface layers: a surface limestone layer with resistivity values ranging from 126 to 1515.1 Ωm at depths of 0–15 m, and a sandstone layer of the Walanae Formation with resistivity values of 10–126 Ωm at depths of 15–70 m. The sandstone layer is interpreted as a deep aquifer capable of storing and transmitting freshwater with sufficient discharge for agricultural irrigation. Based on the interpretation results, groundwater drilling is recommended to a depth of approximately 70 m. The findings demonstrate that the geoelectrical resistivity method is effective as a preliminary approach for groundwater exploration, particularly in areas characterized by carbonate and sedimentary geological conditions (Telford et al., 1990; Loke, 2000).

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EDUCATION AND SKILLS TRAINING FOR JOB SEEKERS IN REDUCING UNEMPLOYMENT IN TIMOR TENGAH SELATAN REGENCY, EAST NUSA TENGGARA PROVINCE
The workforce is one of the most valuable assets and a key factor in a country's economic development. The availability of a qualified, skilled, and productive workforce plays an important role in enhancing global competitiveness and the overall welfare of society. One way to ensure a qualified workforce is by providing skills training. Such training is expected to equip workers and job seekers with the necessary skills to compete in the labor market and help reduce unemployment. Therefore, this study, entitled "The Effectiveness of Education and Skills Training for Job Seekers in Reducing Unemployment in Timor Tengah Selatan Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province," aims to analyze the effectiveness of education and skills training for job seekers in reducing unemployment, the inhibiting factors, and the efforts made to overcome obstacles in the implementation of such training. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through semi-structured interviews using purposive sampling, supported by observation and documentation. The results show that the effectiveness of education and skills training programs in Timor Tengah Selatan Regency is reflected in the clear targeting of participants and active engagement, although access through non-Musrembang channels and the variety of training types remain limited. Program socialization is conducted through various media, although challenges remain in ensuring equal information dissemination. As many as 98% of training participants succeeded in obtaining employment or starting their own businesses; however, the overall impact on reducing unemployment remains limited (5-10%) due to budget constraints and a limited variety of available training types. Post-training monitoring and mentoring are well-implemented and have a positive impact on sustainability. Nevertheless, the lack of supporting facilities such as a Vocational Training Center (BLK) and limited budget remain significant obstacles. Solutions implemented include direct village-based training, provision of work equipment, and improvement of training quality.

IDENTIFICATION OF MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE CLASSIFICATION OF SOLID BULK CARGO OF NICKEL ORE THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO LIQUIFY WHILE IN THE CARGO HOLD OF A MERCHANT SHIP
Iron ore has long been used for industrial steelmaking. Several countries have very large reserves of this commodity, such as Brazil and Australia, which export 70% of their total exports and are the two countries with the highest export value, followed by other countries such as South Africa, Chile, Canada, and the United States with an estimated 33%. Most iron ore is transported by Capesize ships > 80,000 DWT, and even for oceangoing transportation, it can be much larger, reaching 165,000 DWT with a ship length exceeding 350 meters with a draft of over 20 meters. Solid bulk cargo of nickel ore poses a risk in transportation because it can melt (liquefy) during the journey, reducing the stability of the ship, thus endangering the safety of the ship. Solid bulk cargo of nickel ore is classified as cargo group A, which is that it may liquefy if shipped at a moisture content (MC) exceeding the Transportable Moisture Limit (TML). The liquefaction of nickel ore cargo has caused the capsizing of several ships and reduced safety in transportation. To overcome the risk of liquefaction in solid bulk Nickel ore cargo before the start of loading, a laboratory moisture content test must be carried out so that the cargo is safe before being loaded. The purpose of this study is to analyze the moisture content in solid bulk Nickel ore cargo that is at risk of liquefaction and can disrupt the stability of the ship. If the Moisture Content in a Group A cargo exceeds the Transportable Moisture Limit, then the cargo can be declared unsafe to be loaded onto the ship. Therefore, the Moisture Content of the cargo must be reduced to less than the specified Transportable Moisture Limit.

WORK MOTIVATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF HADITH
Work motivation is a crucial aspect in the professional world; it is not solely viewed from a material perspective but also from a spiritual one. The primary aim of this writing is to analyze and explain how Hadith can serve as a source of work motivation for individuals, particularly for Muslims. The method employed in this research is a literature review. This analysis is conducted using a descriptive-analytical approach, where the meanings and characteristics of work motivation found in the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are examined and studied thematically. Work motivation consists of three main components: needs, drives, and goals. There are five factors that influence work motivation from the perspective of Hadith, namely intention, a conducive environment, appreciation and recognition, understanding the importance of work, and spiritual and emotional support. In the context of work motivation, there are several Hadiths that can be referenced. One well-known Hadith is the one narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim regarding intention in work. The principle of work in Islam is that it is not merely an activity to earn income but also a form of worship that holds spiritual value. The principles of work in Islam, derived from the study of Hadith, encompass good intentions, honesty, hard work, and social responsibility. Through the study of Hadith, we can discover various values that can motivate individuals to work better, and by applying the values contained within these Hadiths, it is hoped that individuals can enhance their productivity and performance.

The Concept of Divine Justice in The Quran Thematic Analysis of Al Adl
The Quran, as the holy scripture of the Islamic community, not only provides spiritual guidance but also emphasises the importance of justice in various aspects of life. The research method employed in this study is a qualitative approach with thematic analysis. Several verses of the Quran elucidate the concept of justice, one of which is found in Surah An-Nisa, verse 129, which explains that although a husband may have multiple wives, absolute justice among them is challenging to achieve. The intrinsic nature of Allah as the Most Just reflects that His justice is not influenced by external factors or specific conditions. The active attributes of divine justice focus on Allah's actions and decisions in governing human life. In the context of social relations, justice encompasses equal treatment of all individuals regardless of their background, social status, or wealth. The divine justice taught in the Quran serves not only as a moral guideline but also as a foundation for the formulation of public policies and improved social systems. It is essential for Muslims to continuously explore and comprehend the principles of justice in the Quran and to apply them in their daily lives.

Classification as Collective Representation: A Conceptual Review of Durkheim and Mauss's Primitive Classification
This article examines Émile Durkheim and Marcel Mauss's Primitive Classification as a foundational text in the sociology of knowledge that argues classificatory thinking is not merely an individual cognitive given, but a socially formed institution. Using library research and critical-conceptual analysis, the paper reconstructs the book's central thesis that social divisions (moieties, clans, and totemic groupings) provide the prototype and scheme by which natural phenomena are organized into hierarchical systems of categories. The analysis highlights their comparative cases, including Australian totemic systems, Zuñi and Sioux classifications, and Chinese correlative cosmology, to show how cosmological order and social order are made mutually intelligible through classificatory logics. The article then discusses Rodney Needham's editorial introduction, which questions the explanatory "resort to sentiment" and the conflation of collective representations with universal cognitive faculties. The study concludes that the enduring value of Primitive Classification lies in its programmatic claim: sociological analysis can illuminate the genesis and functioning of logical operations, while later critique urges caution against overstating causal claims and psychological reduction.

Analysis of the Implementation of BPJS Employment Policy in Improving the Welfare of Informal Workers in Medan City
Every worker has the right to occupational safety protection, both formal and informal workers. The absence of social security can weaken worker protection and impact their performance and welfare. In Medan City, the level of informal worker participation in the BPJS Ketenagakerjaan program remains low due to a lack of information, economic constraints, and less than optimal socialization. BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, as a public legal entity responsible to the president, has a mandate to administer the Work Accident Insurance (JKK), Death Insurance (JKM), Old Age Insurance (JHT), and Pension Insurance (JP) programs for all workers, including migrant workers who have worked for at least six months. The low participation of informal workers indicates that worker welfare in Indonesia has not been fully met. This study aims to analyze the factors causing low BPJS Ketenagakerjaan participation among informal workers in Medan City and assess BPJS Ketenagakerjaan's efforts to increase their participation. A descriptive qualitative approach was used through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document studies. The analysis was conducted using the George C. Edwards III policy implementation model, which emphasizes aspects of communication, resources, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Preliminary results show that despite efforts to increase socialization and expand participation, obstacles such as affordability of contributions, lack of understanding of benefits, and inconsistent implementation in the field remain major challenges.

Strengthening Tourism Destination Resilience Through Health, Safety, and Security: A Case Study of Batu Karas Beach, Pangandaran
Batu Karas Beach is a prominent marine tourism destination in Pangandaran, Indonesia, renowned for its surf-grade wave characteristics. However, these physical attributes harbor significant environmental risks, necessitating a robust safety management framework. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach to evaluate the implementation of Occupational Safety, Health, and Security as a fundamental instrument of destination resilience. The conceptual framework integrates spatial-temporal visitor dynamics with hazard identification, specifically targeting dominant risk factors such as rip currents and breaking waves. The research further assesses the functional effectiveness of the Life Guard (Balawista) in incident mitigation and emergency response. Analysis reveals a critical discrepancy between field officer ratios and visitor fluctuations during peak seasons. While a supervisory structure exists, this operational imbalance increases maritime vulnerability and potential accident rates. The current safety infrastructure remains largely traditional, lacking integration with modern preventive systems. Research findings recommend integrating digital technologies such as QR-Code-based information systems and modernizing safety equipment to strengthen Health Safety and Security standards. Enhancing personnel capacity through international certification and preventive education for tourists are crucial prerequisites for establishing Batu Karas Beach as a safe, globally competitive, and sustainable destination.

This study aims to analyze young workers’ perceptions of the benefits of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan as a social protection instrument. A quantitative descriptive approach is used by utilizing secondary data from surveys as well as additional data. The findings reveal that workers’ comprehension of social security, labor regulations, and legal protection mechanisms is still low, influenced by education level, work experience, and interaction with digital platforms. Structural challenges such as unclear employment status, limited specific regulations, and the absence of written work contracts further increase their vulnerability to labor rights violations. These results emphasize the need to enhance legal and digital literacy and strengthen the roles of the government, platform companies, and worker organizations in improving social protection for online platform workers.
