Evaluasi Kebijakan Sosial di Daerah Tertinggal Kabupaten Nias Barat

Social policy evaluation in West Nias Regency is important, considering the phenomenon shows that the district is still a disadvantaged area, experiencing budget political inequality, and lack of governance innovation. This article aims to evaluate the problem from the social demension and social policy dimensions. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data sources from the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia (Ministry of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, 2023) and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS, 2023) as well as the results of previous research. The results of the study show that the evaluation of social policies in West Nias Regency -- as a disadvantaged area -- can be seen from the social dimension and the social policy dimension: (1) From the social dimension, it is important to prioritize equity and justice considering that there is still a high disparity in budget allocation and is below the provincial average, with the lowest Regional Original Revenue (PAD), Transfer Funds, Other Revenues, and Regional Budget (2022). PAD's contribution to the regional budget is only 2%. However, internally, this district has been relatively able to improve its social problems, winning the Innovative Government Awards (IGA Awards) in the category of Innovative Disadvantaged Areas (2022); and (2) from the social policy dimension, this district is important to innovate, such as local governance innovation and public service innovation with the target of developing government service digitalization activities; poverty alleviation; ease of investment; and stability, security and social life. The novelty of this research can have implications for quality and innovation in governance and public services so as to accelerate the improvement of West Nias Regency's status as a disadvantaged are

Social Policy in the Implementation of Concurrent Government Affairs in the Nias Archipelago Area, Indonesia

The implementation of social policies for Concurrent Government Affairs in the Nias Archipelago Area, Sumatera Utara Province, is still experiencing inequality, especially from the aspect of budget allocation. This article aims to analyze these problems, using a qualitative descriptive method, data sourced from the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia (2022). We use data analysis techniques through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that (1) out of 33 regencies/cities in Sumatera Utara Province, 5 regencies/cities in the Nias Archipelago Area, namely Nias Regency, Nias Selatan Regency, Nias Utara Regency, Nias Barat Regency, and Gunungsitoli City experienced significant imbalances in budget extreme allocations with 28 non-island (mainland) regions and below the provincial average. The lack of social policies will have a significant effect on the implementation of Optional Concurrent Government Affairs in the archipelago; and (2) Conceptually, it is important to pay attention to the principles of accountability, efficiency, externality, and national strategic interests in treating archipelagic areas through increased transfer funds – including the General Allocation Fund (DAU) and the Special Allocation Fund (DAK) - as specifically regulated in Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Local Government. It is hoped that the novelty of this research can become material for evaluating policies of the central and provincial governments. This research can have implications for accelerating development, especially in island areas

Spatial Condition in Intuitionistic Fuzzy C-Means Clustering for Segmentation of Teeth in Dental Panoramic Radiographs

 Dental panoramic radiographs heavily depend on the performance of the segmentation method due to the presence of unevenly illumination and low contrast of the images. Conditional Spatial Fuzzy C-mean (csFCM) Clustering have been proposed to achieve through the incorporation of the component and added in the FCM to cluster grouping. This algorithm directs with consideration conditioning variables that consider membership value. However, csFCM does not consider Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set to take final membership and final non-membership value into account, the effect does not wipe off the deviation by illumination and low contrast of the images completely for improvement to skip some scope. In this current paper, we introduced a new image segmentation method namely Conditional Spatial in Intuitionistic Fuzzy C-Means Clustering for Segmentation of Teeth in Dental Panoramic Radiographs. Our proposed method adds hesitation function aiming to settle the indication of the knowledge lack that belongs to the final membership function to get a better segmentation result. The experiment result shows this method achieves better segmentation performance with misclassification error (ME) and relative foreground area error (RAE) values are 4.77 and 4.27 respectively

REGIONAL ARRANGE IN THE PROVINCE OF WEST JAVA: A FORMULATION POLICY

This study analyzes regional structuring policies with the formation of candidates for the New Autonomous Region (DOB) in West Java Province. The territorial arrangement is considered important to improve public services, increase welfare, equitable development, and bring the span of control closer. There are currently 27 district and city governments in West Java Province that are considered unequal to serve 49.94 million inhabitants (2020). Several problems and the imbalance between the number of regions and the population (1: 1.85 million) require policy formulation. The method used in this study is the tailor-made method. Collecting data using participatory observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Although the conclusions of this study are still preliminary findings (new paradigm), based on the tailor-made method that we use (Lee, 2006; Milotay, 2016; Pawson & Wong, 2013; Rohmadin et al., 2017) it is hoped that it can be a major consideration in the formulation of regional structuring policies in West Java. The implication of this research is that the interests (aspirations) of the community are channel (bottom-up) and the executive and legislature in West Java Province, and the center (top-down are also actively involved so that regional planning is beneficial for improving the quality of public services and sustainable regional development. The results showed that the formulation of regional structuring policies to realize increased public services, welfare, equitable development, and control and consideration of rapid population growth is urgently needed by the West Java Provincial Government. Considering the population growth rate of 1.39% per year, the policy formulation that we recommend is to organize 27 existing regions and form 26 new autonomous regions. Until 2030, West Java Province has at least 53 regencies/cities, while in 2045 at least 65 regencies/cities

Concealment of files blocked by Gmail with EOF-based image steganography

Nowadays, due to security concern, not all the process of sending files via email runs smoothly. There are several types of file extensions that are blocked when sent via email. For examples, there are several file extensions blocked by Gmail. This paper discusses steganographic implementation using End of File (EOF) algorithm to insert special file into image cover file with JPG and PNG format so that files with these extensions can be sent via email. Before a special extension file is inserted into the cover file, a compression process should be conducted first to make the file size smaller. The proposed algorithm is implemented on Visual Basic.Net software. Based on the tests performed, the application can insert Gmail-blocked file system to the image cover file, without changing the physical bit of the image cover file or file system that inserted with 100% success rate. The stego-image file is also successfully sent via email without being blocked

PENGARUH HARGA DAN ELECTRONIC SERVICE QUALITY TERHADAP KEPUASAN KONSUMEN PADA LAYANAN VIDEO ON-DEMAND VIDIO (Studi Pada Pengguna Aplikasi Vidio di Kota Bandung)
