The purpose of this study was to obtain data on irrigation assets in the Grojogan irrigation network at this time, to analyze the performance conditions of the Grojogan Irrigation Network system (very good, good, less or poor), to obtain the results of the Grojogan irrigation system performance index from the results of the performance assessment using the ePAKSI application. The results of the irrigation asset management inventory include the main building consisting of 1 dam. The carrier channel consisting of a secondary channel of 1.71 km and a tertiary channel of 2.62 km. The building on the carrier channel consisting of 5 regulatory buildings and complementary buildings (4 culverts, 2 waterfalls, 6 inlets, 1 side spillway building, and 4 bridges). The performance conditions of the irrigation system are included in the Poor Performance (J) criteria so that immediate attention and handling are needed. The overall results of the Irrigation System Performance Index (IKSI) from the performance assessment of the main irrigation system and tertiary irrigation system are 51.18% (<55%)

The puerperium is a critical phase for postpartum mothers that requires special attention to prevent complications. However, awareness of the importance of self-care during this period remains limited, particularly in rural areas such as the working area of Puskesmas Kembang in Jepara. This community service initiative aimed to empower postpartum mothers by enhancing their knowledge and skills in self-care and physical recovery. The approach included interactive education using video media, health talks, group discussions, hands-on demonstrations, and the involvement of family members as key supporters. A total of 20 postpartum mothers and 10 family companions participated in the program. Evaluation through pre- and post-tests revealed significant improvements in knowledge across various aspects of postpartum care, including perineal hygiene, balanced nutrition, early detection of danger signs, and the role of family support. This program proved effective and has the potential to be replicated in other rural settings with similar conditions.

This research utilizes waste from PLTU Tanjung Jati B Jepara, namely FABA (Fly ash Bottom Ash) as an alternative to fine and coarse aggregate. From this research, the physical properties of faba aggregate can be seen from the results of the faba aggregate sieve analysis test, which obtained a fineness modulus value of 1.74, which is included in the medium aggregate type. The water content of fine aggregate (fly ash) obtained a value of 3.63% and coarse aggregate (bottom ash) obtained a value of 1.5%. The fine aggregate sludge content (fly ash) obtained a value of 0%. The fine aggregate organic substance (fly ash) acquires a reddish brown NaOH color, therefore it must be washed before being used as a concrete mixture. The face dry specific gravity of fine aggregate (fly ash) obtained a value of 2.63 gr/cm2 and coarse aggregate 2.52 gr/cm2. From the data that has been obtained, faba aggregate is considered to have physical properties that meet the requirements for fine aggregate and can be used as a substitute for sand. The results of the final compressive strength of faba concrete and normal concrete at the age of 7 days and 28 days showed that the compressive strength of normal concrete (control) was higher than that of faba concrete. The standard deviation values ​​at the ages of 7 and 28 days are included in perfect working conditions because they have a standard deviation value of less than 3 MPa. From the results of the concrete flexural strength test, only the control concrete was 1;1.5 with a flexural strength of 4.18 MPa, which is close to SNI 2847:2013, namely with a minimum flexural strength of fs = 4.4 MPa. Normal concrete has a higher flexural strength than faba concrete. Based on tests carried out with the planned mix design, the 1:1.5 variation obtained the highest results.

This research emphasizes the importance of synergy between the community, government, and external parties in creating community-based sustainable tourism.  

Nosocomial infections are a major challenge in healthcare, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs). Although the incidence in ICUs is not particularly high, they still occur. Adherence to hygiene protocols has been shown to reduce infection rates by up to 30%. Data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health (2020) indicates that nosocomial infections in hospitals account for 20–30% of all ICU patients. Objective: To determine the relationship between the implementation of nosocomial infection prevention protocols and infection rates in ICU patients at Sultan Hadlirin Islamic Hospital (RSI) in Jepara. Methods: This study was quantitative with a correlational cross-sectional design. The population included all 10 healthcare workers in the ICU and 23 admitted patients. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The research instruments were questionnaires and observation sheets, while data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. Results: A total of 17 patients were treated with the prevention protocols in place, but one patient still experienced a nosocomial infection. The test results showed an asymptotic significance value (2-sided) of 0.59 > 0.05. Conclusion: There is no influence of the implementation of infection prevention protocols on the incidence of nosocomial infections (INOS) in the ICU at RSI Sultan Hadlirin Jepara.

Pain is one of the main problems often experienced by patients during treatment in hospitals, including in the Zam-Zam 1 Ward of Sultan Hadlirin Hospital, Jepara. High levels of pain can affect comfort, quality of rest, and slow the patient's healing process. Various non-pharmacological interventions have been developed to help reduce pain, one of which is music therapy, which works through distraction and relaxation mechanisms. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of music therapy in reducing pain levels in patients in the Zam-Zam 1 Ward of Sultan Hadlirin Hospital, Jepara. The research method used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach without a control group. The study sample consisted of 47 patients who met the inclusion criteria and were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) to measure the patient's pain levels before and after the intervention. The music therapy process was carried out by playing relaxation music for a certain period according to the research procedure. Data analysis was carried out using a paired t-test to determine the difference in pain levels before and after music therapy. The results showed an average decrease in pain levels of 1.79 with a standard deviation of 1.05. The t-test results yielded a t-value of 9.017 with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between pain levels before and after the intervention. These findings demonstrate that music therapy is effective in reducing pain perception in hospitalized patients. In conclusion, music therapy can be used as an alternative non-pharmacological intervention that is easily implemented by healthcare professionals to improve patient comfort and quality of care in hospitals.

Tourism plays an important role in shaping the economic development of cities and communities. Heritage sites have a major impact on the economy, making an important contribution to economic growth and development. 3D digital conservation, apart from being useful for preserving historical heritage, also functions as promotional media by utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT). By making 3D models of historical heritage objects, apart from preserving cultural heritage sites, they are also used as promotional media to increase tourism and economic benefits for the community. From the results obtained, it can show satisfactory results. The 3D shape created can provide an overview and information about the geometric shape and condition of the heritage building site, which is quite well captured. The hope is that this can provide information and attract tourists to visit the historical site, namely "Mount Wudel" in Jepara. Making 3D models will of course increase their attractiveness and also serve as a medium for digital conservation.
