Data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. The findings revealed that 56.6% of workers experienced high levels of fatigue. There were significant associations between age (p=0.023; PR=1.836), nutritional status (p=0.021; PR=1.786), medical history (p=0.025; PR=1.789), smoking habits (p=0.039; PR=1.706), years of service (p=0.015; PR=1.912), and work stress (p=0.032; PR=0.574) with work fatigue. The results indicate that workers who are at-risk age (≥35 years), have abnormal nutritional status, a history of illness, smoking habits, and longer years of service are more likely to experience work fatigue. However, high work stress showed a negative relationship, suggesting a protective effect against fatigue. In conclusion, there is a relationship between age, nutritional status, medical history, smoking habits, years of service, and work stress with work fatigue among production workers at PT. X.

Burnout is a psychological issue often faced by Civil Servants (ASN) due to demanding job responsibilities, negatively impacting performance, motivation, job satisfaction, and productivity. Excessive workload is a primary factor contributing to burnout, making it essential to examine their relationship in the governmental context. This study investigates the perception of workload and the level of burnout among civil servants at the National Unity and Political Agency (Kesbangpol) of Jambi Province. Using a quantitative correlational approach, the study involved 65 civil servants selected through purposive sampling. Data were gathered through an online questionnaire consisting of a workload perception scale (30 items) and a burnout scale (22 items). The Pearson Product Moment correlation test with SPSS software was used for data analysis. Descriptive results showed that most respondents reported moderate to high levels for both variables. A correlation coefficient of r = 0.503 with a significance level of p = 0.001 (p < 0.05) indicates a significant positive relationship between workload perception and burnout. This suggests that higher perceived workload increases the likelihood of experiencing burnout. To reduce burnout and maintain optimal performance, balanced workload management, social support, and stress management strategies are essential for civil servants.

This research explores the dual impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the academic writing experiences of English Literature students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). AI tools like ChatGPT, Grammarly, and QuillBot are commonly used for grammar correction and sentence construction. These tools are integrated into students' writing processes, providing valuable assistance in refining their written work. However, their psychological effects, particularly in terms of emotional and ethical implications, have not been sufficiently explored in previous research. This study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach, utilizing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), to examine the experiences of ten final-year EFL students who actively use AI tools for academic writing. Through semi-structured interviews, the research identified three major themes: reduced technical stress, heightened dependency on AI tools, and ethical concerns about authorship. The findings suggest that while AI tools act as cognitive scaffolds, aiding students by improving fluency and reducing the burden of technical writing tasks, they also introduce psychological challenges. These challenges include increased dependency on the tools and concerns about the authenticity of their work, raising questions about academic integrity and self-efficacy. This study sheds light on the complex relationship between AI as an assistive technology and its potential to cause writing anxiety and dependency. By emphasizing both the positive and negative psychological impacts of AI, the study contributes to the growing body of literature on AI in education. It calls for the development of pedagogical frameworks that balance AI literacy, emotional resilience, and ethical considerations to ensure responsible and effective use of AI in academic contexts.

This study aims to design a blanking die used for mass-producing mobile phone holders while prioritizing efficiency and dimensional accuracy. The die set developed includes key components such as the punch, die, stripper, guide post, and fastening bolts. The product produced has dimensions of 138 × 63 × 2 mm and uses ST 37 steel as the raw material. Based on calculations, the required blanking force is 129,000 kN, which is considered safe for the production process. The design also accounts for an optimal clearance of 0.083 mm and a die thickness of 35 mm to effectively withstand the working load. Simulations using stress analysis methods reveal that the von Mises stress distribution on both the punch and die remains below the elastic limit of SKD11 material. The maximum stress on the punch is recorded at 2.437 × 10⁵ N/m², while on the die it reaches 5.153 × 10⁵ N/m², both well below the yield strength of SKD11, which is 2.918 × 10⁸ N/m², indicating that these components operate safely without the risk of plastic deformation. To strengthen the construction, the stripper is designed with a thickness of 12 mm, and the addition of four SCM435 bolts is recommended to improve system stability. This die design is verified through manual calculations and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure its reliability. Overall, the findings of this study demonstrate that the designed blanking die can support mass production with high precision, optimal structural strength, and long-term durability.

This study aims to determine the effect of work overload, work stress, and work motivation on the turnover intention of employees at PT HWI's sewing computer production operators. The study utilizes three independent variables (endogenous), namely work overload, work stress, and work motivation, and one dependent variable (exogenous), turnover intention. The population in this study consisted of employees in the sewing computer section at PT HWI, with 99 respondents sampled for analysis. The results of the data analysis indicate that the indicators are valid and reliable. The classical assumption test showed no multicollinearity in the data. In the hypothesis testing, the variables of work overload, work stress, and work motivation were found to have no significant effect on turnover intention. These findings suggest that while work overload, stress, and motivation play important roles in employee well-being, they do not significantly impact the intention to leave the organization at PT HWI. Future studies could explore other factors influencing turnover intention and the dynamics between these variables.

Field Work Practice (PKL) at Tambak Mina Bangkit Bersama (MIBAMA), Karangrejo, Banyuwangi, was conducted from June 26 to August 3, 2024, with the aim of understanding the process of growing Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp in HDPE ponds. Vaname shrimp farming involves pond preparation, seedling stocking, feed management, and water quality monitoring to optimize shrimp growth. Growth monitoring was carried out through sampling, resulting in an Average Daily Growth (ADG) value ranging from 0.41 to 0.71 grams per day. Water quality measurements showed that temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen levels were still within safe ranges, although several parameters such as salinity, TDS, and ORP required special attention. Partial and total harvesting resulted in an accumulated production of 5.1 tons in this cycle. The use of HDPE ponds proved effective in maintaining the aquaculture environment and supporting production intensification. This study emphasizes the importance of proper water and feed quality management to enhance shrimp productivity and health, while also providing recommendations for continuous monitoring to address stress factors in shrimp during cultivation.

Of the 47 respondents experiencing stress, 87.2% had hypertension. There was a significant association between smoking and hypertension (p<0.001; r=0.585). Of the 28 respondents with heavy smoking habits, 96.4% had hypertension. The study concluded that stress and smoking are significantly associated with hypertension. Respondents with stress had a 5.688-fold higher risk of developing hypertension. The more severe the smoking habits, the higher the risk of hypertension.

The development of wearable technology, especially smartwatches, opens up great opportunities in preventive health monitoring, especially in rural areas such as Sembung Village, Wringinanom, Gresik, where access to health services is limited. However, this technology is still alien to the local community. Preliminary surveys show that the majority of citizens, including health cadres, have never used or even seen a smartwatch in person, and view it as a luxury and irrelevant item. In fact, the potential of smartwatches as “digital health assistants” is huge from tracking heart rate, blood oxygen levels (SpO₂), stress levels, to physical activity reminders that are essential for early detection of health disorders. This service activity aims to improve digital literacy and adoption of smartwatch technology through a participatory educational approach and direct assistance. Implementation methods include: (1) coordination with the village government and health workers, (2) Interactive socialization using local languages, (3) step-by-step practical training, (4) simulation of application in the field, and (5) pre-test and post-test evaluation of 27 participants (25 health cadres, 1 midwife, 1 nurse). The results showed significant improvements: function understanding from the original value of 1.8 increased to 4.2, consumption interest from the original value of 2.1 increased to 4.0, benefit perception from the original value of 1.9 increased to 4.3, self confidence from the original value of 1.5 increased to 3.8, and digital literacy awareness from the original value of 2.0 increased to 4.1. The hands-on approach proved effective in changing participants ' mindset from skeptical to enthusiastic, proving that the digital divide is not due to incompetence, but the lack of access to contextual education. The implication is that smartwatch has the potential to become a strategic tool for village health cadres in early detection and real-time data-based health education, provided that it is supported by sustainable mentoring.

This study aims to analyze the influence of work-family conflict, job stress, and compensation on employee performance at PT Nusa Gas Pratiwi. A quantitative approach with a survey method was employed, and data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 35 permanent employees. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS software. The results indicate that work-family conflict, job stress, and compensation have a positive and significant effect on employee performance both partially and simultaneously. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.900 implies that these three variables explain 90% of employee performance variation, while 10% is influenced by other factors outside the model. These findings reinforce the Job Demand-Resource and Role Enrichment theories, suggesting that job stress and role conflict can become positive driving forces when balanced with fair compensation and organizational support. Therefore, maintaining equilibrium between psychological and economic factors is essential to enhance employee productivity and loyalty.

Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages worldwide, including in Indonesia. Coffee consumption has become part of people's daily habits, whether as a companion for work, relaxation, or as part of social culture. However, this habit is often associated with the potential for increased blood pressure due to caffeine, which is a stimulant to the central nervous system and can affect the function of the heart and blood vessels. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the frequency of coffee consumption and systolic and diastolic blood pressure in adults. The research method used a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The study sample consisted of 100 adult respondents selected through a purposive sampling technique based on certain criteria, such as not currently taking antihypertensive medication and having no history of serious cardiovascular disease. Data collection was carried out in two stages. First, respondents completed a questionnaire containing information on the frequency and habits of coffee consumption, including the number of cups per day and the type of coffee consumed. Second, blood pressure was measured using a digital sphygmomanometer to obtain accurate systolic and diastolic blood pressure data. The results of the statistical analysis showed a significant positive correlation between the frequency of coffee consumption and increases in blood pressure, both systolic and diastolic. Specifically, respondents who consumed more than two cups of coffee per day tended to have higher blood pressure values compared to those who consumed one cup or less. This finding has important implications for health promotion efforts, particularly in educating the public about wise coffee consumption. Recommendations include limiting coffee intake, choosing coffee with low caffeine content, and balancing this with a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and stress management as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Introduction: Back pain during pregnancy is a problem that is often experienced by pregnant women and is complex because it involves not only physical changes, but also psychological aspects. Changes in body biomechanics, weight gain, and shifting of the center of gravity due to uterine enlargement are the main factors that trigger pain complaints, especially in the lower back area. This condition can have a negative impact on the quality of life of pregnant women, interfere with daily activities, and even worsen emotional states due to the emergence of anxiety, fear, and stress if not managed properly. Treatment of back pain in pregnant women can be done through safe non-pharmacological methods, one of which is prenatal yoga. Yoga practice for pregnant women has been proven to provide benefits in the form of relaxation, posture improvement, and increased muscle elasticity. One of the effective movements is the Angry Cat Pose because it is able to stretch the back muscles, improve blood circulation, and reduce pressure on the lower spine. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect  of Angry Cat Pose  exercise on the intensity of back pain in pregnant women in the third trimester. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one group pretest-posttest design. The study sample consisted of 31 pregnant women in the third trimester with complaints of back pain who visited the Gunungpati Health Center. The research instrument was in the form of a questionnaire, while the data analysis was carried out using the Wilcoxon test with a significance level of <0.05. Results: The results showed a significant effect of the Angry Cat Pose  exercise on the reduction of back pain in pregnant women in the third trimester with p=0.000. After the intervention, the majority of respondents experienced a decrease in pain to the mild category on a scale of 1–3. Conclusion: The Angry Cat Pose  exercise has been shown to be effective in reducing back pain in third trimester pregnant women, so it can be recommended as a safe, simple, and routine nonpharmacological intervention under the supervision of health workers.
