PT Adhi Karya (Persero) Tbk is a State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN) in Indonesia that operates in the construction industry. PT. Adhi Karya (Persero) Tbk. was awarded the contract for the Yogyakarta-Bawen toll road construction project, Package 1, Section 1. Construction safety is a very important aspect in the project. The toll road construction project involves work at heights, especially on erection grider work. Erection grider work is a high-risk job, so construction safety must be guaranteed. If construction safety is not guaranteed in the work environment, workers will be more careful in working to reduce risks so that work slows down. This can reduce work productivity. However, when safety is guaranteed, workers will feel safe to work so that it can increase work productivity. This study aims to determine the effect of construction safety (X) on work productivity (Y). The data collection method was carried out by distributing questionnaires to 30 respondents of erection grider workers. Data processing used the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM PLS) method with SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results of data processing showed that construction safety had a significant influence on work productivity with a t-statistic value of 7.329 and a p-value of 0.000.

This study aims to analyze the effect of workload on employee loyalty at the Class I TPI Immigration Office in Jambi, with performance allowance policies acting as a mediating variable. The research employed a quantitative approach involving 88 respondents selected from the total employee population. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using statistical methods to examine both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The results indicate that employees generally perceive their workload as being at a moderate level; however, workload has a significant negative effect on employee loyalty. In contrast, performance allowance policies demonstrate a significant positive influence on loyalty. Furthermore, the findings reveal that performance allowance policies partially mediate the relationship between workload and employee loyalty, indicating their role in mitigating the negative impact of workload. These results suggest that effective performance allowance policies can enhance employee loyalty despite increasing workload demands. Therefore, organizations should balance workload management with fair and performance-based compensation policies to maintain employee loyalty.

The results of this study are expected to provide practical implications for schools and parents in strengthening students’ preparation for the world of work

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of peripheral vertigo, characterized by brief episodes of vertigo due to otoconia displacement. Although most previous studies have focused on intrinsic factors such as age, gender, osteoporosis, and metabolic disorders, evidence regarding the role of environmental factors, particularly occupational noise exposure, is limited. Chronic noise has the potential to affect vestibular function through both sensory and vascular mechanisms. This study aims to narratively review the effect of occupational noise exposure on the risk of BPPV by integrating clinical, epidemiological, and experimental findings. The method used is a literature-based narrative review of the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases without year restrictions, using the keywords "BPPV", "occupational noise exposure", "vestibular dysfunction", "VEMP", and "otoconia displacement". The search results obtained 25 relevant articles linking BPPV to otolith, hormonal, vascular, lifestyle factors, and occupational noise exposure. The results indicate that chronic noise can cause sensory damage (otoconia and vestibular hair cells), vascular disorders (hypertension, cardiovascular disorders, and inner ear microvascular circulation disorders), and exacerbate lifestyle comorbidities (sedentary lifestyle, osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes). The discussion confirms that these multifactorial mechanisms explain the susceptibility of industrial workers to BPPV despite normal hearing function. The conclusion of this study is that workplace noise exposure has been shown to play a significant role as a risk factor for BPPV, therefore, prevention strategies, vestibular health monitoring, and healthy lifestyle interventions need to be optimized in occupational health programs.

Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, literature studies, and documentation. The data analysis techniques included validity tests, reliability tests, normality tests, linearity tests, heteroscedasticity tests, multicollinearity tests, multiple linear regression analysis, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results indicate that transformational leadership has a positive but not significant effect on employee performance, work experience has no positive and insignificant effect on employee performance, while social support has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Simultaneously, transformational leadership, work experience, and social support do not have a significant effect on employee performance at PT Putra Sentosa Mandiri.

This kind of research can reveal a purpose, namely to be able to carry out an analysis of the important role of the government together with the community in realizing policies to combat corruption of village funds. It is necessary to understand that village funds have been made one of the government's priority programs in order to increase the level of prosperity of rural communities and village development through the Village Law. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify policy solutions provided by the government and the community to prevent corruption of village funds. This study utilizes a literature study method through a qualitative approach that can be used to assess the role of the government and the community in implementing policies to combat corruption of village funds as an effort to uphold the integrity of the village administration system. Meanwhile, the research data sources obtained came from secondary data, which included the collection of scientific journals in the last five years, reading books in the last ten years, reports in the mass media, and government regulations.

Strong association rules were found indicating that proficiency in TensorFlow has a high probability of requiring Python proficiency. The Network Graph visualization reveals three main competency clusters: Data Engineering Ecosystem, Deep Learning, and Infrastructure. These findings offer a strategic foundation for aligning curricula with the job market. Focusing on strengthening the identified competency clusters is expected to directly enhance the relevance and work readiness of graduates.

A high-risk pregnancy is a pregnancy that can affect both the pregnancy, delivery, newborn, and postpartum period. There are several high-risk pregnancies, including pregnant women who are <145cm tall, have low birth weight, are too young, and give birth too closely spaced, or what is known as the 4T. Prevention is carried out by conducting comprehensive supervision, this is a way to reduce MMR and IMR. The Central Java government has developed the One Student One Client (OSOC) program, it is hoped that the implementation of this program can reduce MMR in Central Java. MMR according to WHO in 2023 reached 189/100,000 live births, MMR based on ASEAN reached 235/100,000 live births, MMR according to the Indonesian Ministry of Health reached 205/100,000 live births, MMR in Central Java in 2023 has reached 485/100,000 live births, MMR in Brebes in 2023 54/100,000 live births and at the Bantarkawung Community Health Center MMR in 2023 amounted to 2 cases of maternal death. In this study, researchers used Varney and SOAP to document midwifery care comprehensively, with direct qualitative descriptive approach methods such as observation, interviews, and documentation.

The development of national character is a strategic agenda in addressing moral, social, and cultural challenges in the era of globalization. Strengthening fundamental values derived from Islamic teachings is considered an important solution, particularly the values of obedience to Allah SWT, the spirit of competing in goodness (fastabiqul khairat), and work ethic. These three values play a crucial role in shaping individuals who are faithful, possess noble character, are responsible, and have high competitiveness. However, the reinforcement of these values in the practice of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at the elementary, junior high, and senior high school levels has not yet been optimally and systematically integrated. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the concepts, urgency, and strategies for integrating the values of obedience, competition in goodness, and work ethic into PAI learning. The research method employed is a literature study using a qualitative-descriptive approach through the analysis of scientific literature, curriculum documents, and relevant concepts of Islamic education. The findings indicate that the value of obedience serves as a spiritual and moral foundation for students, the value of fastabiqul khairat encourages active, collaborative attitudes oriented toward positive contributions, while work ethic strengthens discipline, responsibility, and productivity. The integration of these three values can be implemented through the development of teaching materials, the application of contextual learning methods, educators’ role modeling, and the cultivation of a religious school culture. The implications of this study affirm that integrating these values into PAI significantly contributes to the formation of a young generation with integrity and readiness to build a dignified nation.

The production of breast milk is essential for promoting optimal growth and developmental outcomes in infants throughout the first six months of life. Nevertheless, several studies have indicated that some breastfeeding mothers face challenges in producing adequate milk, often influenced by nutritional status, psychological conditions, and environmental support. The katuk plant (Sauropus androgynus), a well-known local herb, has long been recognized for its potential as a natural galactagogue that can stimulate breast milk production. The innovation of processing katuk leaf extract into biscuits offers a more practical, convenient, and potentially acceptable alternative for daily consumption among the community. The present study aimed to examine the impact of katuk leaf biscuits on breast milk production among breastfeeding mothers within the jurisdiction of Kuta Baro Health Center, Aceh Besar District. A pre-experimental design utilizing a one-group pretest–posttest method was implemented, involving 20 breastfeeding mothers who fulfilled the established inclusion criteria. Data collection was carried out through the administration of questionnaires and by measuring breast milk volume using a calibrated measuring cup.The study findings indicated that before the intervention, most participants had relatively low breast milk production, averaging 69.1 ml. After a seven-day intervention, the mean breast milk volume showed a significant increase to 246.5 ml, with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), the findings indicate that katuk leaf biscuits exert a significant influence on increasing breast milk production. Overall, this study underscores the potential of locally sourced, herbal-based food innovations as an effective and sustainable approach to enhancing breast milk production and supporting the success of exclusive breastfeeding programs.
