Human resource management (HRM) plays a crucial role in improving the quality of da’wah programs in mosques. This study aims to analyze the implementation of HRM in managing da’wah programs at Masjid Raya Pematang Siantar, as well as to identify obstacles and solutions to improve the effectiveness of da’wah activities. The research used a qualitative approach with interview, observation, and documentation techniques. Informants consisted of mosque administrators, preachers (da’i), and active congregants. The results showed that HRM in the da’wah programs already has a fairly clear organizational structure, but several aspects still need improvement. The recruitment of preachers is still conducted informally without clear competency standards, and there are no specialized training programs for preachers. Congregational participation also remains fluctuating. Another weakness is the minimal use of technology in disseminating da’wah information, as promotion is still carried out conventionally without optimizing digital platforms. In addition, limited funding and the lack of professional management personnel are major challenges. Solutions that can be implemented include improving preacher recruitment and training systems, utilizing technology in da’wah dissemination, and optimizing financial management through effective fundraising strategies. With better HRM implementation, da’wah programs at Masjid Raya Pematang Siantar are expected to operate more professionally and provide broader positive impacts on society

Preeclampsia remains a major contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. Early detection and integrated management at the primary healthcare level are essential to prevent disease progression and improve maternal outcomes.  Modifiable risk factors such as maternal obesity, inadequate calcium intake, and poor clinical management contribute significantly to disease progression (WHO, 2021; Zhang et al., 2020). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an Integrated Maternal Health Model (IMHM) combining risk assessment, nutritional intervention, and clinical management for early prevention and control of preeclampsia in primary healthcare settings. A quasi-experimental cohort study was conducted among 104 pregnant women, consisting of 52 preeclamptic and 52 normotensive participants in community health centers in Medan, Indonesia. Data were collected across four antenatal visits, including blood pressure measurements, proteinuria (dipstick), calcium intake, supplementation adherence, and antihypertensive therapy. Statistical analyses included bivariate and longitudinal tests. The results showed that maternal obesity, history of preeclampsia, and hypertension were significant risk factors. Adequate calcium intake demonstrated a protective effect against preeclampsia (p < 0.05), consistent with recent evidence indicating that calcium supplementation can reduce the risk of preeclampsia by up to 49%. However, calcium supplementation did not significantly influence blood pressure among normotensive pregnant women. Antihypertensive therapy, particularly intensive nifedipine regimens, showed significant differences in blood pressure patterns across visits (p < 0.05). In addition, proteinuria levels significantly decreased over time (p < 0.001), indicating improvement in renal function. In conclusion, the IMHM is effective in improving maternal outcomes through a multi-component approach integrating clinical, nutritional, and monitoring strategies. This model provides a practical and scalable framework for early prevention and management of preeclampsia in primary healthcare settings.

Predictive maintenance (PdM) plays a crucial role in modern industrial systems by minimizing downtime, reducing maintenance costs, and optimizing asset performance. However, many predictive models operate as “black box” systems, limiting transparency and making it difficult for operators to interpret their outputs. This study aims to integrate Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques with Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction models to improve both accuracy and interpretability. Various machine learning and deep learning approaches, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF), XGBoost, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), are employed to predict RUL using real-time sensor data from rotating machinery. XAI methods such as SHAP, LIME, and attention mechanisms are applied to provide human-understandable explanations of model predictions. The models are evaluated based on accuracy, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and interpretability scores. The results show that XAI-enhanced models outperform traditional approaches in predictive performance while offering greater transparency. These explanations help maintenance engineers better understand the factors influencing predictions, thereby improving decision-making and trust in the system. Nevertheless, the integration of XAI introduces additional computational complexity, which may pose challenges for large-scale industrial implementation. Overall, this study highlights the potential of combining XAI with RUL prediction to develop more reliable, transparent, and effective predictive maintenance solutions.
