Android continues to innovate, and biometric systems particularly fingerprint sensors must operate with high efficiency. However, the main challenge lies in the communication between hardware and software, which often causes high latency, excessive power consumption, and protocol incompatibility between components. As a result, authentication speed decreases and system stability is compromised, especially on mid- to low-range devices. This study explores various implementations of Android-based fingerprint systems, focusing on how sensor modules interact with the microcontroller or Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and the operating system through a hardware-software co-design approach to evaluate integration efficiency across all layers. The analysis reveals that conventional protocols such as Bluetooth or serial connections still cause delays, while improvements in drivers and the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) can significantly reduce latency. As a solution, the researchers propose a co-design optimization approach that utilizes data flow normalization within the HAL and adopts lightweight communication protocols to accelerate the verification process. Based on the test results, this approach successfully improves efficiency—authentication time is reduced by up to 35% and power consumption decreases by approximately 15%. Therefore, the efficiency of communication between hardware and software becomes a key factor in enhancing the performance and reliability of fingerprint systems on Android devices.

In the modern industrial world, robots like mechanical arms in automotive factories or packaging lines must move quickly and safely. For this, a real-time operating sistem (RTOS) is needed—think of it as a "super-fast brain" that ensures the robot reacts instantly to commands, without delays or errors. This paper analyzes popular RTOS like FreeRTOS and VxWorks for controlling industrial robots, focusing on evaluating performance (speed of operation) and stability (long-term reliability). We conducted tests in a lab using a simple robot that moves its arm to pick up objects. Performance was measured by response time (how quickly the robot stops when encountering an obstacle, ideally under 10 milliseconds) and throughput (how many tasks it can complete per second). Stability was checked through simulations of disruptions, like heavy loads or interfered sensor signals, using metrics such as error rate and time variation (jitter). Results show that FreeRTOS is more efficient for small, affordable robots, with high performance (average response time of 4 ms) but moderate stability (5-10% errors during overload). In contrast, VxWorks excels in stability (errors <2%, stable for up to 95% of tasks on time) for large factory robots, though it requires stronger hardware. Our analysis uses simple models like graphs and repeated tests, without complex formulas, to prove that the right RTOS can boost production efficiency by up to 25% and reduce accident risks.

Pregnancy is a physiological process that involves various physical and psychological changes in women. One common psychological issue that can arise is anxiety related to body image, which can significantly influence the eating behaviors of pregnant women. This psychological challenge may lead to eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and bulimia nervosa. The presence of eating disorders during pregnancy can have detrimental effects on maternal health, including nutritional deficiencies, fatigue, and an increased risk of complications during pregnancy, such as preterm birth and gestational diabetes. Additionally, these disorders can negatively impact the fetus, resulting in inadequate nutrient intake, low birth weight, and developmental delays. Therefore, maintaining a healthy, balanced diet, alongside psychological support, is crucial for pregnant women. Health education, along with professional counseling and guidance from healthcare providers, plays a vital role in preventing and managing eating disorders during pregnancy. Such efforts ultimately contribute to optimal health outcomes for both the mother and the developing fetus, ensuring the well-being of both in the long term.

Termination of employment is one of the most common occurrences in industrial relations. In practice, the implementation of workers' rights after termination, particularly those related to severance pay, does not always proceed in accordance with applicable legal provisions or mutually agreed terms. This study aims to analyze the settlement of remaining severance pay claims based on an agreement between the workers and PT. Nusa Halmahera Minerals. This study uses a normative juridical method with a Data was obtained through literature studies, legislation, and mutual agreement documents. The results of the study show that there are delays and inconsistencies in the implementation of severance pay as stated in the mutual agreement. The settlement was mostly non-litigious through mediation at the Manpower Office, but did not result in the full fulfillment of rights. This shows the weak bargaining position of workers in the implementation of collective labor agreements, as well as the need to strengthen legal mechanisms for sanctions against companies that fail to fulfill their obligations.

Audit tenure, and financial distress in the audit report lag of companies in the property and real estate subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2022–2024 period. Operational efficiency is then measured using the BOPO ratio. Audit tenure is measured by assigning a score of 1 if the company’s auditor is consistent and adding +1 whenever each year continues and returning 0 if there is a replacement auditor. Financial distress is then calculated using the Grover model, and audit report lag is calculated based on the difference in days between the audit report date and the financial statements. Company size is measured by Ln (Total Assets). Furthermore, the method used in this study is quantitative with a purposive sampling technique analyzed using multiple linear regression and moderated regression analysis. Operational efficiency hazards have a positive and significant effect on audit report lag, meaning that in this case the BOPO ratio has a high probability of being related to delays in longer audit reports. Audit tenure does not have an effect on audit report lag. Furthermore, financial distress has a negative and significant effect, indicating that companies experiencing lower financial difficulties tend to have a shorter audit report lag. Company size strengthens the influence of operational efficiency on audit report lag. Company size also does not moderate the relationship between audit tenure and report lag. Company size weakens the effect of financial distress on audit report delays. These findings demonstrate the importance of maintaining timely audit reporting for investors in decision-making. This study contributes to the literature on auditors and future research.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported in 2019 that 40 million people worldwide require palliative care, including those with cardiovascular disease (38%), cancer (34%), chronic lung disease (10.3%), AIDS (5.7%), and diabetes (4.6%). Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life of patients and families facing life-threatening illnesses by managing pain and physical, psychological, social, and spiritual problems. The main goal of this care is to reduce suffering and help patients cope with the limitations imposed by illness. The principles are to respect life, consider death a normal process, neither hasten nor delay death, and provide support until the end of life. This study aims to determine whether knowledge can influence the level of self-efficacy of nursing students at Awal Bros University.
