This study aimed to evaluate the forage production characteristics of Japanese papaya (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius) as a potential feed source for ruminant livestock. The research employed a case study approach through direct field observations on four mature Japanese papaya plants naturally grown as living fences in Malang City. Measured variables included the diameter of the main branch, number and length of sub-branches, forage yield, and nutrient composition. Data were analyzed using correlation and simple linear regression to determine the relationship between plant structure and forage productivity. The results indicated that the diameter of the main branch showed a strong positive correlation with the number and length of sub-branches, as well as with forage yield and nutrient content (DM, OM, CP, CF, and EE). Regression analysis confirmed that larger branch diameters were consistently associated with higher forage production and better nutrient values. These findings suggest that the diameter of the main branch can serve as a reliable indicator for estimating the forage yield and nutritional potential of Japanese papaya, providing a practical tool for its use in sustainable ruminant feed management.

The high number of hypertension cases is due to the still low level of hypertension control, specifically medication adherence. Treatment adherence is crucial for maintaining health and well-being in patients with hypertension. In contrast, non-adherence to medication leads to treatment failure. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-management and adherence to hypertension medication in the elderly. This research employed an analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study consisted of 49 elderly people with hypertension in Cot Cut Village, Kuta Baro, Aceh Besar. The sample was chosen using a total sampling technique. The MMAS-8 questionnaire was used to assess adherence to hypertension medication with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.860. The self-management questionnaire showed a Cronbach's alpha of 0.766. The research was conducted from April 8th to 14th, 2025. The data analysis used univariate and bivariate methods, using the chi-square test. The results showed that out of 49 respondents, 21 (42.9%) were less adherent to hypertension medication, and 29 (59.2%) had less adherence to self-management. The chi-square test indicated a p-value of 0.001, showing a relationship between self-management and adherence to hypertension medication among the elderly. This research suggests that hypertensive patients should be supervised to improve medication adherence and self-care management to maintain stable blood pressure.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profit growth, liquidity, and Leverage on profit quality with company size as a moderation variable in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019-2023 period. This research is based on the importance of profit quality as an indicator of real financial performance, as well as the phenomenon of profit management practices that can reduce the quality of financial information. The research method used was quantitative with a causal and associative approach, using secondary data from the financial statements of 65 manufacturing companies over five years. Data analysis techniques include multiple linear regression analysis and moderated regression analysis (MRA) with the help of SPSS software. The results show that profit growth, liquidity, and Leverage have a significant negative effect on the quality of profit. This indicates that the increase in these three variables tends to decrease the quality of profits, which is likely due to profit management practices to maintain the company's financial image. In addition, company size is not able to moderate the relationship between profit growth, liquidity, and Leverage to profit quality. These findings imply that the scale of the company does not affect the strength of the relationship between these variables and the quality of profits. This research makes a theoretical contribution in enriching the accounting literature regarding the factors that affect the quality of profits and the role of company size. Practically, the results of the research can be a reference for company management and investors in improving the transparency and quality of financial reporting.

A competitive company is basically a company that is able to maintain consistency and stability of profits in various business activities, without having to commit acts of fraud that can harm internal and external parties. Achieving high-quality profits is an important indicator of the company's sustainability because it reflects management's ability to effectively manage assets, resources, and business strategies. In the context of this study, the main focus is directed to the effect of leverage, liquidity, and profitability on the quality of profit with the size of the company as a variable of moderation. The study was conducted on food and beverage subsector manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019 to 2023. The research method used is quantitative with analytical descriptive approach. The selection of samples was carried out by purposive sampling technique so that 25 companies were obtained as samples with a total of 125 financial statement data for five years of observation. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that leverage, liquidity and profitability have a negative and significant influence on the quality of profit. This finding shows that the higher the three variables, the quality of profit actually decreases. Furthermore, the results revealed that the size of the company is not able to moderate the relationship between leverage, liquidity, and profitability to the quality of profit.

This study aims to analyze the effect of online learning engagement on student satisfaction, with time management as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design, this study involved 150 students from the UPPBJ UT Makassar Program who were selected using cluster sampling techniques. The variables used in this study included online learning engagement, technology perception, and student satisfaction, which were measured using a 5-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Smart PLS version 4.0 software, which included measurement and structural model evaluation to examine convergent, discriminant, and reliability validity. The results showed that online learning engagement did not have a significant effect on student satisfaction, although there was a positive relationship. However, online learning engagement had a significant effect on technology perception, which in turn had a significant effect on student satisfaction. Technology perception played an important role as a mediator in the relationship between online learning engagement and student satisfaction, reinforcing the direct effect. This mediating effect shows that even though online learning engagement does not directly increase satisfaction, perceptions of online learning technology play a crucial role in increasing student satisfaction. This study provides insight into the importance of technology perceptions in online learning.

Canine dwarfism is a growth disorder resulting from physiological dysfunction within the endocrine system, primarily due to growth hormone (GH) deficiency commonly caused by abnormal pituitary development. GH and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) play essential roles in regulating the growth of bones, muscles, skin, and internal organs through the hypothalamic–pituitary–liver axis. Under normal conditions, the hypothalamus controls GH secretion, which subsequently stimulates the liver to produce IGF-1 as the main mediator of growth. Genetic abnormalities such as LHX3 mutations can impair somatotroph cell differentiation and reduce GH production, ultimately leading to decreased IGF-1 levels. The deficiency of these hormones disrupts chondrocyte proliferation in the epiphyseal plates, decreases muscle protein synthesis, and negatively affects the development of tissues such as skin, hair, and reproductive organs. This study was conducted using a literature review method by searching scientific databases and selecting relevant publications addressing the physiological, clinical, and pathophysiological aspects of canine dwarfism. Literature analysis indicates that GH deficiency leads to clinical manifestations such as stunted body size, thin and easily shedding hair, dry and infection-prone skin, reduced muscle mass, metabolic disturbances, and delayed reproductive maturation. Diagnosis is established through clinical evaluation, IGF-1 measurement as an indicator of GH activity, and radiographic assessment of epiphyseal plate development. Overall, a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between physiological abnormalities and clinical signs is crucial for early detection and appropriate management of dwarfism, providing a strong scientific foundation for understanding the hormonal mechanisms disrupted in this condition.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability, leverage, and dividend policy on firm value in the energy sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2024 period. The energy sector was selected due to its strategic role in the national economy and its contribution to the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG). Out of 81 energy sector firms, 22 firms were obtained as samples using a purposive sampling method. Data analysis was conducted using the path analysis technique. The results show that profitability has a significant effect on firm value, while leverage has no effect. Dividend policy also has no effect on firm value, whereas profitability has no effect on dividend policy, and leverage has a significant negative effect on dividend policy. Furthermore, dividend policy is unable to mediate the relationship between profitability and leverage with firm value. These findings imply that firm value is more influenced by profitability factors than by leverage or dividend policy. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for firm management, investors, and policymakers in making future financial decisions.

This study examines the public communication strategy implemented by the broadcasting division of the Bogor City Communication and Informatics Office (Diskominfo) in producing and disseminating video content through social media as a means of public information and education. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, using observation, interviews, and document study techniques to gain an in-depth understanding of contextual communication practices. The results indicate that the public communication strategy was implemented through three main stages: pre-production, production, and post-production. In the pre-production stage, messages relevant to community needs were planned. The production stage focused on creating content that was informative, engaging, and easily understood by the audience, while the post-production stage included the dissemination and evaluation of message effectiveness. Challenges encountered included limited resources, technical issues, and sometimes suboptimal coordination between departments. However, these obstacles were overcome through teamwork, technical training, and more efficient equipment management. This study confirms that video content plays a strategic role in strengthening the relationship between the government and the community and encouraging transparency and public participation. Continuous evaluation based on audience feedback is recommended to improve the effectiveness of future communication.

This study aims to examine the role of life cycle and bio-accounting in achieving sustainable broiler chicken production and to analyze whether environmental intelligence moderates these relationships. The life cycle approach is viewed as a comprehensive method for assessing resource efficiency, waste management, and environmental impacts throughout each stage of broiler production. Bio-accounting serves as a tool to measure and record biological aspects affecting livestock performance, feed consumption, emissions, and production efficiency. A quantitative method was employed through surveys distributed to small- and medium-scale broiler farmers. The results indicate that both life cycle and bio-accounting have a positive and significant effect on sustainable broiler production. Moreover, smart environmental strengthens these effects, as farmers with higher levels of environmental intelligence are better able to utilize bio-accounting information and life cycle assessments to manage resources efficiently and reduce environmental impacts. These findings highlight the importance of integrating life cycle analysis, bio-accounting practices, and environmental intelligence to enhance the sustainability of broiler production.

Application of Multi-Layer Perceptron neural network to fault classification in high-voltage transmission lines is demonstrated in this paper. Different fault types on protected transmission line should be detected and classified rapidly and correctly. This paper presents the use of Discrete Wavelet Transform energy features combined with zero sequence current magnitude as input features for neural network classifier. The proposed method uses eight extracted features to learn hidden relationship in fault signal patterns. Using proposed approach, fault detection and classification of all 11 fault types could be achieved with high accuracy. Improved performance is experienced once the neural network is trained sufficiently with 1188 fault samples, thus performing correctly when faced with different system conditions. Results of performance studies show that proposed neural network-based classifier achieves 96.18% average accuracy, which demonstrates that it can improve the performance of conventional fault classification algorithms, which in turn can provide more efficient solutions in the management and protection of high voltage electrical systems.

Data were collected using a closed questionnaire and analyzed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that 41.7 % of respondents had good knowledge and 66.7% did not experience anxiety. The Chi-Square test produced a significance value of p = 0.018, indicating a significant relationship between knowledge levels and anxiety of pregnant women. In conclusion, the higher the level of knowledge, the lower the anxiety experienced by pregnant women in the third trimester.

This study investigates the structural relationships among Product Quality (PQ), Brand Image (BI), Word of Mouth (WOM), and Repurchase Intention (RI) to empirically understand the sequential mechanisms driving consumer loyalty in a highly competitive market. Grounded conceptually in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) paradigm, the research posits that PQ acts as an external antecedent influencing RI through the mediating cognitive and behavioural constructs of BI and WOM. Data were collected from a sample of 187 Weber product consumers in Surabaya and analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The empirical results confirm all hypothesized direct and indirect relationships. Specifically, PQ significantly and positively influences both BI (β=0.337, p<0.000) and WOM (β=0.351, p<0.000). Furthermore, both BI and WOM significantly predict RI, with WOM (β=0.498, p<0.000) demonstrating a markedly stronger effect compared to BI (β=0.414, p<0.000). The model successfully explains a moderate 57% of the variance in Repurchase Intention. These findings underscore the strategic imperative for management to prioritize superior product quality, which organically fosters a positive brand perception and stimulates potent word-of-mouth promotion identified as the most critical driver of repeated purchases. Future research is encouraged to integrate additional affective factors, such as customer satisfaction or perceived price fairness, to enhance the explanatory power of the consumer loyalty model.

Introduction: Experiential marketing has become a growing trend in promotional activities by emphasizing personalization and active customer involvement. Preliminary observations indicate a decline in outpatient visits among patients with general insurance and non-JKN coverage in 2023, which may be influenced by a decrease in their intention to use outpatient services. This condition highlights the need for hospitals to implement experiential marketing strategies to enhance patient interest and experience. Objective: This study aims to empirically examine the influence of patient experience and service perception on the intention to use outpatient services, with Strategic Experiential Modules (SEMs) as an intervening variable. Methods: This quantitative research employs a causal design involving outpatient service users as the population. A non-probability sampling technique was used, yielding 249 respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS software. Results: The findings reveal that patient experience and service perception simultaneously have a significant positive influence on the intention to use outpatient services through SEMs. Service perception directly shows a significant positive effect on both SEMs and intention to use outpatient services, while SEMs also significantly enhance usage intention. Service perception emerges as the dominant variable in increasing SEMs and usage intention, whereas patient experience has the weakest effect. Conclusion: Patient experience and service perception collectively influence the intention to use outpatient services with SEMs as an intervening variable. Strengthening Customer Relationship Management is essential by improving human resources and optimizing service asset.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition of severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that can cause serious physical and psychological effects on pregnant women. In addition to biological and hormonal factors, psychological aspects such as anxiety are thought to play an important role in the occurrence of hyperemesis gravidarum. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of anxiety in pregnant women and the occurrence of hyperemesis gravidarum. The study uses a quantitative approach with an analytical observational design through a cross-sectional method. The study sample consisted of 30 pregnant women in their first trimester who were selected using purposive sampling. Anxiety levels were measured using a standardized anxiety questionnaire and categorized as moderate and severe anxiety, while the incidence of hyperemesis gravidarum was determined based on complaints of excessive nausea and vomiting and clinical data. Data analysis was performed univariately and bivariately using the Goodman–Kruskal tau test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that most respondents experienced moderate to severe anxiety, and some respondents experienced hyperemesis gravidarum. Bivariate analysis showed a significant and very strong relationship between anxiety levels and the incidence of hyperemesis gravidarum. These findings indicate that the higher the anxiety level of pregnant women, the greater the likelihood of hyperemesis gravidarum. The conclusion of this study confirms that anxiety is an important psychological factor associated with the occurrence of hyperemesis gravidarum. Therefore, the integration of anxiety screening and management into antenatal care is essential as part of a comprehensive, mother-centered approach to pregnancy care

The quality of education is an important issue that requires an integrated and sustainable management system. One approach that is widely used is Total Quality Management (TQM), which focuses not only on achieving academic standards, but also on the satisfaction of all education stakeholders. Although many studies have discussed IQM, a synthesis is still needed to see how IQM has been applied over the past five years and its contribution to customer satisfaction in education. Therefore, the research questions asked are: (1) how has IQM research in education developed from 2020 to 2025, and (2) to what extent has it contributed to customer satisfaction in education? This article uses a qualitative method based on a literature review (LR). The search process was conducted through the Google Scholar and Publish or Perish databases using the keywords “Integrated Quality Management in Education.” The search yielded 20 articles, which were filtered into 18 relevant articles and further analyzed into 5 main articles. The review results show three main themes: quality system planning and integration, quality culture-based managerial strategies, and quality assurance oriented towards stakeholder satisfaction. The conclusion confirms that IQM contributes significantly to improving quality and customer satisfaction in education. Further research is recommended to test the empirical relationship between IQM practices and stakeholder satisfaction at various levels of education.

Wildfires in Los Angeles are a phenomenon that can be analyzed from two main perspectives: science and religion. From a scientific standpoint, these fires are triggered by a combination of natural factors, such as the Santa Ana winds that bring hot and dry air, and climate change, which extends drought periods and increases temperatures. However, human activities, including environmental exploitation, deforestation, and inadequate fire mitigation efforts, have exacerbated the situation. From an Islamic perspective, natural disasters can be seen as tests, warnings, or consequences of human negligence in maintaining environmental balance, as mentioned in the Qur'an (Surah Ar-Rum: 41). This study highlights that wildfires are not merely natural occurrences but also have spiritual dimensions. Islam emphasizes that humans are entrusted as stewards of the earth, responsible for preserving nature rather than passively accepting disasters. Therefore, the best approach to addressing wildfires is to integrate scientific understanding with religious values. Proposed solutions include science-based prevention efforts, such as sustainable forest management and fire mitigation policies, as well as spiritual awareness to appreciate and safeguard nature as a divine trust. By understanding the relationship between science and religion, humanity can take greater responsibility in disaster response and establish a more balanced and sustainable way of life.
