Dairy cattle farming is a cattle breeding business specifically developed to produce large quantities of milk. Dairy cattle generally belong to the Bos taurus species, and one of the most common and productive dairy cattle breeds in Indonesia is the Holstein Friesian (FH). This study aims to evaluate how artificial insemination (AI) impacts the quantity and quality of milk produced by dairy cattle in the region, thereby contributing to improved agricultural practices and economic outcomes for dairy farmers in Indonesia. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive and experimental design to evaluate the effectiveness of artificial insemination (AI) on milk production in dairy cattle in Indonesia, focusing on factors influencing AI success. The results of this study indicate that artificial insemination (AI) has been proven effective in improving genetic quality and milk production in dairy cattle in Indonesia. Timely implementation of AI, especially at the peak of the estrus cycle, can increase conception rates by between 30% and 70%, with an ideal target of 65-75%. An AI program supported by inseminator training, maintained frozen semen quality, and good feed and livestock health management has a positive impact on the ideal calving interval of approximately 12 months, thereby increasing calf numbers and milk production. Artificial insemination is an effective reproductive method for increasing dairy cattle productivity through genetic improvement and controlled reproductive management. The success of an AI program depends heavily on semen quality, proper insemination techniques, livestock health management, and farmer involvement.

Banking stability plays a crucial role in maintaining financial system resilience and supporting national economic growth. Fluctuations in macroeconomic factors often impact banks' financial health, particularly their capital. This study aims to explore how macroeconomic factors such as inflation, central bank benchmark interest rates, and gross domestic product (GDP) impact capital adequacy ratio (CAR) in conventional banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2024. This study employed a quantitative approach with an associative design, utilizing secondary data. The sample size for this study was 43 conventional banks. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression using SPSS. The findings indicate that inflation and benchmark interest rates do not significantly impact financial health, while GDP indicators show a modest positive trend. These findings confirm that macroeconomic conditions are not yet a dominant factor in determining bank capital adequacy. Therefore, it is suspected that internal factors such as risk management, profitability, and operational efficiency play a greater role in maintaining bank capital stability.

Digital transformation in the Industry 4.0 era has accelerated changes in consumer behavior and intensified competition in online markets. Under heterogeneous and increasingly saturated conditions, mass-marketing approaches become less effective, making niche market strategies more relevant as a path to differentiation. This article aims to formulate a systematic framework for independently building a niche market in the digital era through a synthesis of academic literature and a practical social-media case. The study uses a conceptual literature review integrating niche marketing theory, niche success characteristics, and social media marketing dynamics. The review indicates that effective niche market development follows sequential stages: (1) identifying specific market needs/problems, (2) designing a relevant product/service solution, (3) sharpening the target into a clearly defined niche, (4) formulating a unique selling point (USP) and value proposition, (5) conducting small-scale validation through a portfolio/MVP, (6) executing social media marketing, (7) maintaining consistent content and digital branding, and (8) performing continuous adaptive evaluation. The @foodish_mks case reinforces that content consistency and social-media utilization act as key mechanisms linking digital marketing intensity to niche success. This article contributes a cross-sector niche-building roadmap aligned with algorithmic, community-based digital platforms, and proposes a testable hypothesis model (H1–H6) for future empirical validation.

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is defined as a non-communicable disease related to the respiratory system, where airway spasm occurs which is interpreted through shortness of breath, decreased oxygen saturation, and increased sputum production. This sputum production is caused by exposure to harmful substances that can inhibit mucociliary clearance, goblet cell proliferation occurs which causes hyperplasia and hypertrophy resulting in the growth and enlargement of mucous glands which results in increased sputum production and causes ineffective airway clearance nursing problems. The purpose of this study was to describe nursing care for ineffective airway clearance (COPD) with effective cough training at RSUD dr. R. Soedarsono. Methods: This research used a case study design. The research participants were COPD patients with ineffective airway clearance nursing problems who were given interventions in the form of effective cough training in Interna Room 2 at RSUD dr. R. Soedarsono. Data collection was done through interviews, observation, physical examination, and documentation. Results: Ineffective airway clearance is resolved as shown by the patient saying the cough has decreased and is not tight, able to remove phlegm, additional breath sounds decrease, sputum production decreases and breathing frequency is 20x/minute.  Conclusion: Effective cough training is proven to be effective in improving airway clearance in COPD patients, so it can be one of the non-pharmacological interventions to overcome this problem.

This study aims to analyze the narrative dissonance in the corporate communication of the Aqua brand, especially in the context of the crisis of meaning that arises between claims of natural purity and technical findings related to the use of borewells in the production process. Using a qualitative approach through content and narrative analysis, the study integrates two main theoretical frameworks: the Narrative Paradigm (Fisher, 1984) and Image Repair Theory (Benoit, 1995). The analysis focused on how companies are building, maintaining, and renegotiating their corporate narrative amid public pressure and consumer expectations. The results show that the legitimacy crisis arises due to the symbolic mismatch between the narrative of "purity" communicated and the operational reality revealed to the public. This tension triggered a strategic response from the company in the form of public clarification, transparency of the production process, and repositioning of messages to restore consumer image and trust. This study confirms the importance of narrative coherence and reflexivity in corporate communications, especially in an era of digital openness that demands accountability and consistency between symbolic messages and tangible practices. These findings contribute to the study of crisis communication and brand image restoration strategies, as well as a reference for companies in designing ethical, transparent, and sustainable communication to maintain legitimacy and credibility in the eyes of the public.

Adolescent girls are the most vulnerable group to iron deficiency during growth and menstruation. An innovative snack product gyoza substituted with tuna and added moringa leaves can be developed to increase protein and iron content. This study aimed to determine the effect of tuna substitution and moringa leaf addition on sensory evaluation of gyoza’s color, aroma, texture, and taste as a snack for adolescent girls with iron deficiency anemia. The research is a pure experimental research with a completely randomized design. The sensory test data collection technique was carried out on 35 untrained panelists. The 4 formulations developed, namely F1 (25g tuna substitution with the addition of 10g moringa leaves), F2 (50g tuna substitution with the addition of 10g moringa leaves), F3 (75g tuna substitution with the addition of 10g moringa leaves), and F4 (100g tuna substitution with the addition of 10g moringa leaves). Then it was analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney test as a further test. The results of the four formulations showed that there was an effect of tuna substitution with the addition of moringa leaves on the texture and taste sensory test however, there was no effect of tuna substitution with the addition of moringa leaves on the color and aroma sensory test and the best product was obtained in F3. The results of the gyoza nutritional content test that was substituted with tuna and the addition of the best moringa leaves or F3 formula based on laboratory testing had a nutritional content of 11,25% protein and 0,022% iron per 100 grams of gyoza. It is hoped that further research will modify the amount of moringa leaves added to improve the organoleptic test of gyoza products by panelists and examine gyoza formulations for other nutritional content that has not been tested and economic value.
