The magnesium alloy AZ31B is increasingly used in biomedical applications, particularly as an implant material, due to its relatively low aluminum content and mechanical properties that closely resemble those of bone. Additionally, AZ31B exhibits corrosion resistance that is suitable for biological environments. These properties make it a promising material for bone implants. However, one of the main challenges in using magnesium is its high degradation rate in the body, which can affect the stability and function of the implant. Therefore, surface modification is necessary to control the degradation rate and enhance the material's durability. One effective method to reduce the corrosion rate of AZ31B is the Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) technique. PEO can form a hard, protective oxide layer on the surface of the metal, which helps improve its corrosion resistance. This study aims to explore the effect of the mass composition of hydroxyapatite (HAp) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) on the PEO coating formed on the AZ31B substrate. The compositions used in this study were 70%:30%, 50%:50%, 40%:60%, and 60%:40%, with an electrolyte solution containing Na₂SiO₃ (2.5 g/L) and KOH (2 g/L). Corrosion characteristics of the coating were evaluated using two methods: weight loss and polarization tests. The results showed that the 70%:30% HAp:TCP composition provided the most optimal results. The polarization test recorded a corrosion rate of 0.22 mpy, while the weight loss test showed a corrosion rate of 0.29 mpy. These findings indicate that the PEO coating with the 70%:30% HAp:TCP composition effectively reduces the corrosion rate of AZ31B, enhancing its potential for biomedical implant applications, particularly in environments where corrosion resistance is crucial for long-term performance in the body.

This study investigates the potential of Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastic waste as a partial substitute for sand in concrete block mixtures, focusing on its effects on compressive strength and water absorption. LDPE is a non-biodegradable plastic waste that poses significant environmental challenges. Its incorporation into construction materials offers a promising solution to reduce pollution while enhancing the performance of building components. The research employed LDPE substitution levels of 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% by weight of sand, compared against conventional concrete blocks without LDPE. Experimental results revealed that the highest compressive strength was achieved with a 15% LDPE mixture, reaching 80.762 kg/cm² at 28 days of curing—an increase of approximately 40.8% compared to normal blocks, which recorded 57.359 kg/cm². LDPE additions up to 20% maintained favorable strength characteristics, while higher proportions (25% and 30%) led to a decline in mechanical performance. In terms of water absorption, the inclusion of LDPE demonstrated a decreasing trend, attributed to the hydrophobic nature of plastic, which enhances moisture resistance in the concrete blocks. These findings suggest that a 15% LDPE substitution represents an optimal formulation for producing eco-friendly concrete blocks with improved strength and reduced water absorption. The study highlights the dual benefits of waste management and material innovation, aligning with sustainable development goals. By repurposing plastic waste into construction applications, this approach not only mitigates environmental impact but also contributes to the advancement of green building technologies. Further research is recommended to explore long-term durability, thermal properties, and scalability of LDPE-based concrete products in real-world construction settings.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of gillnet mesh sizes (1 inch and 3 inches) on fish catches in the waters of Enggano Island, Bengkulu. The method used is a quantitative experiment by catching fish using gillnets with mesh sizes of 1 inch and 3 inches for three trips around the waters of Enggano Island. The data collected included the number, length, and weight of fish caught, which were then analyzed using an independent t-test. The results showed that the 1-inch mesh caught more fish than the 3-inch mesh, but the fish caught with the 3-inch mesh were larger in size and weight. Although there were differences in the number and weight of fish caught, the results of statistical tests showed that the differences were not statistically significant, so that both mesh sizes had comparable effectiveness in the context of fishing at the study site. The conclusion of this study shows that the use of a 3-inch mesh is more recommended for getting fish with higher economic value, while a 1-inch mesh is more effective for catching more fish. Further research is recommended to examine other mesh size variations and their impacts on the sustainability of fish resources

Tropical forests play an important role as carbon sinks and biomass stores, including through the litter produced by vegetation. Litter contributes to nutrient cycling, maintains soil fertility, and is an important component of ecosystem carbon reserves. This study aims to estimate the biomass and carbon content of litter in the Jaboi Hot Spring Flow Area, Sukajaya District, Sabang City. The study was conducted in June 2025 using a 100 m long line transect method with four transects, each consisting of 18 1 x 1 m plots. Leaf litter samples were collected, their wet weight was measured, dried in an oven for 48 hours, and their carbon content was calculated based on the percentage of organic carbon of 0.47. The results showed a total litter biomass of 8,106 kg/m² with an average of 2,027 kg/m², and a total litter carbon of 3,809 kg/m² with an average of 0,952 kg/m². The highest values were found at Station 3 (2,354 kg/m² and 1,106 kg/m²) and the lowest at Station 1 (1,691 kg/m² and 0,795 kg/m²). Variations in values are influenced by soil physical-chemical factors, vegetation density, and climatic conditions, which influence production and decomposition rates. These results emphasize the importance of monitoring biomass and litter carbon to support forest management and conservation.

Subcontractor selection is a crucial factor in determining the success of a construction project. The selected subcontractor not only plays a role in expediting the completion of the work but also influences the overall quality, cost, and timeliness of the project. Mistakes in decision-making, such as selecting a less competent subcontractor, can result in delays in completion, increased project costs, and even decreased construction quality. Therefore, a systematic, measurable, and objective method is needed to support the subcontractor selection process. This study aims to implement the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method as an approach in a decision support system for subcontractor selection. AHP was chosen because it can decompose complex problems into simpler structures by determining criteria weights and comparing alternatives. The criteria used in this study include expertise, work experience, timeliness of work, equipment availability, and bid price. By assigning weights to each criterion, the selection process can be carried out more transparently and measurably. The case study was conducted at PT. Tatha Group, a company engaged in the construction services sector. In this study, AHP was used to prioritize alternative subcontractors to be selected to assist in project implementation. The research results show that the AHP method produces clear, structured results and supports more accurate decision-making. Thus, the application of AHP not only minimizes subjectivity in assessments but also provides accountable recommendations for selecting the best subcontractor for the project's needs.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition of excessive nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, which can lead to dehydration, weight loss, potassium deficiency (hypokalemia), and serious metabolic disorders. If left untreated, this condition can trigger complications such as ketosis, liver dysfunction, and even death. The exact cause is unknown, but several predisposing factors, such as multiple pregnancies, hydatidiform moles, psychological conditions (such as stress, fear of pregnancy), and a decreased immune system in pregnant women, are believed to play a role (Maryunani, 2018). Persistent nausea and vomiting cause the body to use carbohydrate and fat reserves for energy, which produces toxic metabolites. As a result, body tissues receive fewer nutrients and oxygen. Furthermore, potassium loss through vomiting and urine can contribute to hypokalemia and worsen vomiting. According to Maryunani (2019), this condition occurs more frequently in 60–80% of primiparous pregnant women and 40–60% of multiparous pregnant women during the first trimester. This study used an analytical method with a cross-sectional approach to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women towards the occurrence of hyperemesis gravidarum. The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge (p = 0.015) and attitudes of pregnant women (p = 0.006) towards the occurrence of hyperemesis gravidarum. It is hoped that health workers, especially in Community Health Centers, will be more active in providing education to pregnant women regarding the prevention of hyperemesis gravidarum. Pregnant women are also expected to regularly check their pregnancies and seek appropriate information to maintain their health during pregnancy. This study used an analytical method with a cross-sectional approach to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women towards the occurrence of hyperemesis gravidarum. The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge (p = 0.015) and attitudes of pregnant women (p = 0.006) towards the occurrence of hyperemesis gravidarum.

Nutritional issues among toddlers continue to be a pressing public health challenge in Indonesia, including in Kelurahan Pekan Kuala, where although anthropometric data have been systematically collected through the e-PPGBM application, they have not been thoroughly explored in terms of clustering patterns that may provide deeper insights. This study seeks to classify toddler nutritional status by applying the K-Means Clustering method to anthropometric indicators such as age, weight, height, and weight-to-height index. A dataset consisting of 648 entries recorded between January and March 2025 was processed using MATLAB R2014b with cluster variations set at 5, 7, and 9. The analysis revealed that the majority of toddlers were categorized as having good nutritional status, while a portion of the sample was identified as undernourished and some at risk of overnutrition, indicating the diverse nutritional challenges faced by this community. Furthermore, testing the variance across cluster configurations demonstrated that the 9-cluster model yielded the lowest variance score of 0.20, thereby representing the most optimal solution since it produced more homogeneous, balanced, and stable clusters compared to other configurations. These outcomes highlight the importance of data-driven approaches in public health planning, as the clustering results not only provide a clearer picture of nutritional distribution among toddlers but also serve as a foundation for more evidence-based and targeted intervention strategies. By offering a more granular understanding of nutritional variations, this research is expected to support local health authorities in developing customized nutrition programs, allocating resources more effectively, and ultimately improving child health outcomes in Kelurahan Pekan Kuala and similar communities across Indonesia, where malnutrition and overnutrition risks continue to coexist.

Breakfast is an important habit that plays a major role in meeting children's energy and nutritional needs. The energy obtained from breakfast is essential for daily activities, including learning and playing, enabling children to achieve optimal performance both physically and cognitively. Furthermore, breakfast habits also contribute to children's nutritional status, reflecting the balance between nutritional intake and needs. However, the reality shows that in Indonesia, approximately 40% of children still do not have breakfast before going to school, potentially affecting their nutritional status. This study aims to determine the relationship between breakfast habits and the nutritional status of students at Muhammadiyah Kayen Elementary School. The study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design and utilized primary data. The study population was all 225 students in grades I to IV. Of these, 112 students were selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire to explore breakfast habits and anthropometric measurements of height and weight to determine nutritional status. Data analysis was performed using the Fisher exact test. The results showed a p-value of 0.742 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant relationship between breakfast habits and students' nutritional status. A total of 79.5% of students had good breakfast habits, while 20.5% were classified as adequate. Meanwhile, the students' nutritional status consisted of good nutrition (57.1%), overnutrition (19.7%), obesity (11.6%), malnutrition (8%), and undernutrition (3.6%). Thus, it can be concluded that breakfast habits are not significantly related to the nutritional status of students at the school.

The nutritional status of primary school-aged children is an important indicator for monitoring their growth and development. This study aims to describe the nutritional status of the 4A grade students at SD 064981 Cempaka Raya based on anthropometric data and analyze the relationship between their consumption of school snacks and their nutritional status categories. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with total sampling of 20 students. Data was collected through measurements of height and weight, which were then processed using the WHO Anthro Plus software to determine the students' nutritional status categories. The measurement results show that 25% of the students are categorized as undernourished, 50% are within normal nutritional status, 20% are overweight, and 5% are obese. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test revealed a highly significant relationship (p<0.001) between snack consumption patterns at school and nutritional status. The results show that all students who have the habit of consuming snacks are more likely to be categorized as overweight or obese, while students who do not consume snacks tend to be in the undernourished or normal category. These findings indicate that snack consumption patterns can be a risk factor for excess nutrition in children. Therefore, it is crucial to educate students about the importance of balanced and healthy eating habits from an early age. Monitoring snack consumption at school is also necessary to minimize the risk of obesity and excess nutrition in children. Preventive measures like these are expected to prevent health issues related to nutrition and promote healthy and optimal growth in children. By encouraging good eating habits, we can help create a healthier generation and reduce the risk of nutrition-related diseases.

Futsal is a high-intensity team sport that requires a combination of speed, agility, and physical endurance, particularly cardiorespiratory endurance. Cardiorespiratory endurance is crucial because it directly relates to a player's ability to maintain optimal performance throughout a match, particularly when facing fast-paced and stressful play. Therefore, variables that can influence this ability, such as body composition and nutritional status, are crucial in developing athlete performance. One indicator that can be used to measure nutritional status and body composition is the Body Mass Index (BMI), which is obtained by measuring weight and height. BMI not only reflects whether a person is within the ideal weight range but also potentially influences the efficiency of the body's organs, including the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. In the context of futsal, players with a higher BMI tend to have a higher body weight, which can hinder movement efficiency and increase fatigue during matches. Conversely, players with a lower BMI may have insufficient energy reserves and muscle mass to maintain stamina during matches. This study shows a significant negative relationship between BMI and cardiorespiratory endurance in futsal players at Bali International University. The results of statistical tests using the Spearman rank correlation method showed a correlation coefficient (r) of -0.504 with a significance value of p = 0.005. This indicates that the higher a player's BMI, the lower their cardiorespiratory endurance tends to be. These findings support the importance of ideal body weight management in futsal athlete training, both through dietary adjustments and measured physical exercise programs.

This research was motivated by public hesitation to invest in digital gold through the Dana app, which refers to Fatwa No. 77/DSN-MUI/V/2010 concerning non-cash gold buying and selling. This fatwa serves as a guideline for Muslims investing in gold. Furthermore, the author has not found any licensing from the Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS) for the Dana app. Furthermore, several students at Batang Hari Islamic University (UNI) have the Dana app and use it to invest in gold. They were seen buying gold on a certain day and reselling it the next day. The added value from the sale was a profit for the students, but there was also a loss for students who exchanged their gold purchases when the price of gold fell. Furthermore, this research is designed in the form of field research (Empirical Jurisprudence), which is a type of sociological legal research and can be described as field research, which examines applicable legal provisions and what has occurred in community life. Using observation, interview, and documentation techniques, data analysis and triangulation are then carried out. The conclusion that can be drawn from the previous description is that the Digital Gold Investment Practice on the Dana Application at Batang Hari Islamic University in its mechanism on the Gold Fund feature is carried out non-cash where the certainty of the object, namely gold, is only in the form of savings balances in the form of rupiah and digital gold weight with no physical gold ownership if the gold savings have not reached 1 gram. In gold investment transactions on the Dana application, the results show that smaller profits are obtained by buyers due to certain problems related to the buyers themselves. The Digital Gold Investment Practice on the Dana application in the Islamic Law Perspective at Batang Hari Islamic University, by juxtaposing several related fatwas, in practice in Islamic law, the investment practice in the Gold Fund feature is considered to contain gharar related to gold objects that have no physical clarity.

This study aims to comparatively analyze the effects of two types of inhalation anesthetics, ether and chloroform, on Wistar rats, focusing on three main parameters: induction time, duration of anesthesia, and side effects. Selecting the appropriate anesthetic method is crucial in animal studies to ensure animal welfare and the validity of the results. Twenty male Wistar rats, with an average body weight of 200–250 grams and 10–12 weeks of age, were randomly divided into two treatment groups of 10 rats each. The first group was anesthetized using ether, while the second group was anesthetized using chloroform, with doses adjusted to achieve adequate levels of anesthesia. Measurements were made of the induction time, which is the interval from the start of anesthetic exposure until the loss of the pedal reflex; the duration of anesthesia, which is the length of time until the rat regains consciousness; and clinical observations of any side effects that appear, both during and after anesthesia. The results showed that the ether group had a relatively longer induction time than the chloroform group. However, ether provided a longer and more stable duration of anesthesia, with a better recovery rate. In contrast, chloroform produced a shorter induction time but was accompanied by a shorter duration of anesthesia and a higher risk of side effects, particularly liver dysfunction and respiratory depression. These findings reinforce previous reports that chloroform has significant potential toxicity, and its use in animal research should be limited. Based on these results, ether is recommended as a relatively safe inhalation anesthetic option for laboratory procedures in Wistar rats, although its use still requires strict supervision and appropriate handling procedures to ensure the safety of both researchers and experimental animals.

Neonatal jaundice is a common health problem in newborns, characterized by yellow discoloration of the skin and sclera due to increased bilirubin levels in the blood. This condition, if not detected and treated properly, can lead to serious complications such as kernicterus, which can lead to long-term neurological developmental disorders. Risk factors contributing to jaundice include suboptimal breastfeeding practices, delayed initiation of breastfeeding, and low birth weight. Adequate breastfeeding from an early age plays a crucial role in accelerating the excretion of bilirubin through feces, while monitoring birth weight can help identify infants at risk of hyperbilirubinemia. This outreach activity aims to increase mothers' and families' knowledge about the importance of early and exclusive breastfeeding, as well as monitoring birth weight as a preventive measure for neonatal jaundice. The activity was conducted at Andi Makkasau Regional Hospital using lectures, interactive discussions, and the use of educational media such as leaflets and posters. The training materials covered the definition, risk factors, signs and symptoms of jaundice, early detection procedures, the benefits of breastfeeding in preventing jaundice, and the importance of recording and monitoring infant weight. The activity was evaluated through pre- and post-tests to gauge participants' understanding. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge, particularly regarding the relationship between delayed breastfeeding, low birth weight, and an increased risk of neonatal jaundice. Furthermore, participants gained a better understanding of home-based measures to detect early symptoms and when to immediately take their baby to a health facility.
